I think your comments are a little too harsh....You may not like what Robert said but I fail to see why you needed to insult him for saying them....It would seem to me that we can disagree without insults and your response failed to do that.

That was horrible, and a perfect example of the "rampant cynicism" Robert talked about. Did your post have a point, BTW, other than to insult and intimidate?

I have a lot of respect for a lot of the savvy posters here, despite all the rampant* cynicism* signed, Long and Proud Well you didn't have to be so rough LP. but the inferences were hard to ignore. The price of the stock shows rampant optimism and Robert did not say if he was long from 147 or some other price. Besides, AMZN does not leave much room on the fence unless you are just a trader and care nothing for evaluations. Why was albeit useful put in parentheses except to negate its legitimacy? All in all I'd say you gave a little more than you took, but i would not say you were unfair. Gordon Langston P.S. I suppose you could have said, Robert, lurking suits you, keep up the good work and good-by.

ok, i've remained above the fray for over two years.... here's my response to you.... isn't all this about making money? that's what i'm doing.... on an "intellectual" basis, what else matters here? Fundamentally, we can hope or pretend that the inet doesn't matter, but I don't believe that any of us would be here otherwise.... It's happening.... let's state the obvious... i'm surprised that so many of us don't aren't willing to acknowedge the fact....
