Hello Mr. Trocchi: Thank you for the kind compliment. I enjoy the insights found in many of your posts. As a young child I baffled through understanding Old English, which was an enriching experience. I struggle to say what I mean and mean what I say -- and I believe the effort is worthwhile. I just read a report passed to me today by my broker from an analyst at their firm about AMZN. I was in an exacting mood with respect to AMZN so I'll quote my remarks below: "Cute parody of an analysis. I kind of wonder what is motivating the PR--pursuit of some hope of fat placement cuts for [brokerage]? That breach of integrity would stew his goose with me in short order.

This kind of irresponsible, glib, gliding with the wind helps to keep foolish dollars thrown at dartboard AMZN. I am appalled you have a guy like this on staff. Thanks for the eye-opener. If you wish, tell him hello from me and to fire himself, too." I'd like the analyst to at least hear the last line and give it some thought. Best regards, m
