The "whisper number" for AMZN: earningswhispers.com Seems investors have been trained to expect the lowered earnings (increased losses) to be exceeded. This could back-fire this time around because now everyone expects "better than forecast" performance. yea right, -.46 will be a whole lot better than -0.54!

Amazon may very well correct this week, but it will CERTAINLY correct after it releases quarterly numbers. OC, This come to a question that I posed to William. The analysts are all reasonably close in their estimates for sales for this quater. The average estimate is $130 million. That is about 11% sequential increas from last quarter. Much slower growth than in the past. I asked William how he though the market would react and he stated he had no idea. That is as good an answer as any since I have no idea. You believe that a revenue figure for Q3 98 of $130 million will make this stock fall? Glenn
