Rob S.

Nice post. Cold not agree more, but when will the market come to adopt your view. Medium term, no matter the "earnings" report, number of hits etc., all of which I'm sure will be positive, you've got to expect some more insider selling soon after the earnings, as well as borders actual launch of its website (they apparently just got the one out there now up and running so they could have a presence even before it was set to go with ad campaign etc. etc.) to have a negative impact on amzn stock price. Still, can't get over this quietly gnawing feeling that whoever is screwing around with this stock is setting a bear trap going into earnings. Or is the "Heard on the Street" publicity -- none of it positive -- make it a little too hard to jack this stock up higher int he stratosphere? What other news could move this stock or the industry, post major partnerships announced last month and post-yhoo earnings announcements?

Love to hear anyone's thougts.

Rob Yahoo and Amazon have been very busy together --they are coupled together --People will type books on its search and all they will see is Amazon. I would be nervous shorting AMZN knowing how many hits Yahoo did this last Qtr ---lots of Amazon hits my guess.
FDX report last night suggests there is a whole lot more shipping of packages going on out there. Interesting these net shops are growing fast. JIM
