The porkerages (brokerages) are trying to rally Yahoo and Amazon but the rally is failing so far. There just isn't much enthusiasm for highly speculative stocks right now. I'd sure like to see the B.S. model for this company to see how they derived at their target. Probably something like this: "Hmmm. . . there is no way we can model this to look positive. But we have millions of shares to dump and lots of commissions to make by trading AMZN. Let's put a 12 month price target of, say 160. That should be good enough to draw in a few more suckers. We can explain latter when the price drops to 60 that it was a speculative play that just didn't work out the way we thought it would."
