Hi John, appreciate your post but I think the rise was also partly due to the expected stock split in the mind of momentum bulls as well as the fear caused some shorts to cover(stock split is now still a guess between us, may never happen). So I think the effect is null even if it is true. Market is more bearish now so many longs and funds might sell more and wait till it hit the support at 90-95 this time to try to drive it up again. Besides if the leak already went out today and tomorrow that the revenue growth hit the wall then why wait till Thursday afternoon to sell. YAHOO tanks after good tiny earning came out. This one has no earning til the next century and competitions are left and right. Dell dropped 2 days in a row and earning announcement is 1, or 2 weeks away, but why wait? (of course Dell is less overvalued) Thank you and just my opinion here.

With such volatility in stocks such as AMZN, anything is possible. But I think many firms will be somewhat disappointed with Amazon's earnings that will be reported. This stock is due for a sharp sell off. It is amazing how high a stock can go with their actual revenues being so low. Just my view on this stock as I have watched it for a while now.

E-LOAN's unique E-TRACK technology provides borrowers with secure, anytime access to information on the status of their loan application at every stage of the process. E-LOAN is the only online multi-lender offering comprehensive and customized loan tracking to its customers. "People want to know what's going on with their mortgage from the moment they apply to the day it closes," said Janina Pawlowski, president of E-LOAN and principal architect of E-TRACK. "We designed E-TRACK to help our customers find out the status of their mortgage at any point in time, which gives them a greater level of control over a process that has traditionally been confusing and frustrating in the offline world. This is just another way E-LOAN is leveraging the Internet to revolutionize the mortgage transaction in favor of consumers."

E-TRACK's technology is compelling... it's a win for consumers and gives E-LOAN a major competitive advantage." E-LOAN's E-TRACK lets customers learn what's happening with their loan every step of the way -- from the beginning of the loan process to the end, without the hassle of waiting for a response from a traditional loan agent or having to call during regular business hours. With E-TRACK, customers instantly know what their application status is and whether they need to take any steps to move the process forward. Using E-TRACK, applicants can log into their password-protected individual profile to view the status of their loan and timeline for their rate, details of the product selected, and directly contact their personal E-LOAN customer service representative. Customers will instantly know pertinent information such as the date that their application was received, which additional documents are required, appraisal results and lock-in status, and anticipated closing date. E-TRACK also provides current closing cost information including the exact amount of cash needed to close the loan and specifications for impounds and mortgage insurance.
