Not likely. Sounds like four of Amazon's competitors in their "newly found" fields of retail are ganging up on AMZN.

It only took one credible competitor to take 50% of Netscape's marketshare away to kill their stock. I doubt if Amazon has 50% left of any market at this point. Barnes and Noble is making quick headway.

Methinks that huge 75 call writing today was a massively bearish bet.
Remember, the value of those calls was around 16 MILLION dollars. I think this is one of our favorite market manipulators planning their exit in the least obvious method possible.

>>Scheduled for launch in November, the network is being established by CDnow Inc.(Nasdaq:CDNW - news), Cyberian Outpost Inc. (Nasdaq:COOL - news), eToys, and Reel.com.

Reel.com is a Paul Allen (of Microsoft) venture, tied to Hollywood Video Stores. (They may have deep pockets but of course they don't have that NZMA secret sauce, do they)
