Glenn, Your conclusions on this Baker & Taylor thing can't be right, i.e. paying for current purchases of CGS with stock. If it is we have a disaster which will devastate AMZN in short order - shareholder lawsuits, SEC, you name it. Just think, how would you value the stock to be fair to all the competing interests? Even AMZN isn't that dumb. If I were the audit partner on AMZN, I'd withdraw, rather than spend the next 10 years in litigation. So, it must be related to some sort of founders shares or joint venture setup. Wonder how we sort this out? Regards, IS

DogReprint Follows: boards.fool.com ------------------> Get a grip, Zax. I personally think that the Fool should dump AMZN, but it's their money and their risk. I don't buy that the Fool is hyping AMZN (how many small investors would have to be actively trading on 2,000,000+ share days at 100 shares or less per trade given the price?). I appreciate your opinion, Phool, but I flatly disagree with your logic. TMF appears to be cleverly hyping stocks to attract attention from both institutional AND small investors causing the stocks to rise by pyramid principles. Thus, rather than coming off as a respectable news organization, instead, they come off as low life vermin like this: freeyellow.com
