The most influential people behind the Web.... Maybe AMZN is building value through relationships: relationships with customers and with business partners. I notice that Bezos is ranked #3 in the most influential list, and then the venture capital money behind AMZN is #4. <<<Amazon.com, is building the retail model of the future -- which he (Bezos) believes is based upon accumulating relationships.>>> zdnet.com:80/anchordesk/story/story_2557.html Tom D

>>"We don't like Barnes and Noble because they are being forced into the online retailing business where profit margins are extremely low." "However, we like Amazon very much, its a great company."<< what an idiot. the contrary opinion he espoused give me no reason to change my bearish stance. i hope he sleeps with a smile on his face b/c not many people get paid to be so dumb.

Oc<HAVE THEY NO SHAME???> 80% of the analysts, Cnbc brings on never had any shame to start with. The guys I like to follow will talk about caution as much as gain. I love Applied Material (Amat). I made a bundle on on it. When Kurlack , said "Its a great co in a bad time". I got out. I'll be back, I just don't no when. Trust me.

**OT*** I felt I had to share this: Logging protester killed by falling tree United Press International - September 18, 1998 20:28 %STATE %CA %PROTESTERDEATH V%UPI P%UPI FORTUNA, Calif., Sept. 18 (UPI) - An environmental activist protesting the logging of an ancient redwood forest in northern California was struck and killed by a falling tree. The Earth First! environmental group says 24-year-old protester David Chain of Cold Springs, Texas, was standing among redwoods at Grizzly Creek, about 300 miles north of San Francisco, when he was struck in the head Thursday and killed by a tree that had been cut by a logger. Pacific Lumber said they did not know the protesters were in the area, but Earth First! members issued a videotape of the incident to the media today, saying it proves otherwise. The members said the video showed the loggers making ''death threats'' to the small group of protesters and telling them their lives were in danger if they did not leave the area. A statement from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department indicates Chain and other protesters were playing a ''cat and mouse'' game with the loggers before Chain was hit. Chain was reportedly declared dead at the scene by the time a medical helicopter arrived. Sheriff's officials say the incident appears to have been an accident but is still under investigation. Chain had reportedly come to Northern California a year ago to join the group's Headwaters campaign to save ancient forests. Theresa Kintz, of the Earth First! Journal, said the group is discussing filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Pacific Lumber.
