Gary, Thanks. Your number makes sense, and is most likely correct. Jan, Amazon's float is closer to 19 mil. Marketguide got it wrong, and listed the float as 6 mil. and the media has been using that number ever since. The company, Amazon.com, had a chance to correct this figure but simply stated that the company "doesn't comment on the float". Amazon has more shares in its potential float than any of the other well known internet stocks (YHOO, LCOS, SEEK, etc.).
