Those 25k share blocks were traded at the bid, according to my screen. Sells, not buys. Folks, this is so fucked up that I can only assume one of two things. A) Amazon is the greatest company since Bre-X or Presstek B) Todays market action is being utterly manipulated because the brokerages pimping this dog know that the 2-3 million shares for sale today would destroy the stock if they don't support it.

Glenn, The only thing I can figure out is the MMs were buying to square their short positions, in preparation for another run? I don't know what else makes any sense. Maybe they stopped on that idea when they noticed the market was looking like it would decline? I don't know. Regards, IS
