David Rocker, a New York-based hedge-fund manager, advises shorting Amazon's stock and buying its junk bonds. Earlier this year, Amazon raised $325 million selling senior-discount notes due 2008. The bonds, which pay no interest for five years, were priced at 61.507, to yield 10%. While the bonds barely budged as the stock soared earlier in the year, they've weakened lately. Last week, they were being offered at 50, with no bidders in sight. At that price, the yield stands at a hefty 12.9%. Craig, Thank you for this paragraph. I was wondering how the bonds were doing and di not know how to locate that information. For future reference, can anyone tell me how to look up a bond? Glenn
