Ok. I'll ask a simpler question... Is Amazon the best stock to short now...or is it a "grudge short" for the bears here...or...is the light always the best under the lamppost? :-)

Name That Internet Brand I'm not sure how much that means Glenn, one way or the other. Nearly half the American population doesn't have a clue who Al Gore is. Jay Leno did interviews on the street asking people questions the other night. I'm sure it was edited for effect, but it was a pretty sad commentary. Remember IQ of 100 is a median number. Regards, IS IS: Still it provides a sense of limits for the "amzn will grow forever and has brand name recognition" crew. LP

IS, You are correct but your example is politics. Ask people on the street who Sears Roebuck and Company is or JC, Penney, etc. They will typically know. Not sure that means much either<G> Glenn
