BARRONS AMZN article?! On the AMZN Yahoo chat someone mentioned a Barrons article on AMZN. Has anyone read it. A post from someone on Yahoo chat noted AMZN $10 referencing the article and that he was selling his AMZN Tuesday.

Here are Yahoo's operating results from third quarter, 1997, (one year ago) Good job, Bill. OC: IMO, you hurt all AMZN bears standings here when you argue on a personal level with a poster of AMZN bullish tendancies over a completely OT subject and then drop it when you seem to be proven wrong at face. Put up facts or fess up error. Friendly advice, -- Zax
