Reminds me of that old Seinfeld episode: 'Opposite George' - Just do the opposite of what you would normally do!

I am not doing well and keep trying to apply logic.

I'd hardly call shorting AMZN a logical decision. If you see a mob rioting, it would hardly be a logical call to say "calmer heads will prevail and no private property will be destroyed".

The only thing that will get the AMZN mad crowd out of their stupor is the warning shot of flat revenue growth.

Logic says that this is not likely to happen in the near future, particularly when selling things at a loss, just like AMZN seems to be doing.

I think the logic is there. INTC picture of the future is clearer than CPQ. INTC competition is way behind and floundering. CPQ is in a tough battle with several good companies and is barely above break even.

Just to let you know I just bought some CPQ.

Numbers don't always tell the whole story.
