In the meantime those lucky enough to go long AMZN as recently as June have raked it in. We are only at the beginning as far as AMZN is concerned. People were calling CSCO a one product company and overvalued in 1993. Always bet on the management of the company they will grow the business in directions you won't expect. I think the same was true of AOL where people were calling it over valued for the last so many years. I think Amazon management has the savvy to grow this company in ways you and I can't tell now. I am not long AMZN at present but am looking for an oppurtunity to get in. Anindo

They are. They are focused on losing money and doing one heck of a job of it. They are focused on diluting shareholder value and doing a great job there too<G> Actually they are diluting losses. No doubt the market will view this as a positive! From a short's perspective you can look forward to all that stock that AMZN paid for that purchase to be on the market ASAP. The Amazon balloon won't pop until BKS and BGRP get a little more vocal. I know the BKS CEO has been vowing to crush AMZN's online book business. There will be a price war one day (soon?). If only AMZN had sold stock instead of long term junk debt.....
