Oc<Of course, you and I both know that Vinik could give Bezos an order, and Bezos would have no choice but to say "Yes, Sir!"> I've said this once before. We Bears love your passion. The Bulls would rather that you fuck off. On behalf of us bears. Please stay.

>>And "has it's way" implies there is some sort of power relationship going on between Amazon and the brokerage houses. When does a company not have its way? Pretty close to the truth, but I wouldn't say brokerage houses. I'd say the analyst and investment community. Amazon can only push it so far. If they show accelerating momentum over the next year because of this strategy, though, they can push it even farther than they have and not lose investors. >>Of course, you and I both know that Vinik could give Bezos an order, and Bezos would have no choice but to say "Yes, Sir!" Vinick has no control over Jeff Bezos, so, no, we both don't know that. >>After all, without Vinik, Amazon would just be another pissant e-tailer like Egghead, trading below 10 bucks. Sure.
