Hey Zax, love to read your stuff, but I'm not so sure of the new policy on censorship here (if any). SI has historically been the most liberal and open and informative discussion group around, and a lot of that has to do with the woman who _used_ to run it. But she just left (SI was bought out) and I have no idea who's running it now. Hopefully, they will maintain their "hands off" approach and let debate run its due course.

Perhaps this is just how the system works. I don't care anymore. I apologize Bill. I didn't mean to question where you are coming from like that. I'm just learning the ropes. Mabye this is my rather rude awakening to realities of high finance. The market is up. All is good. Hooray for capitalism! This questioning the system just ain't my game anymore. Regards, and sincerest apologies. -- Eric :)

Zax, nicotine is not addictive. Just ask a panel of tobacco company CEO's who testified before Congress some five years ago. And as you said: Its up to a smoke filled room of professional stock hyping bastards and whores to decide who makes it, and how to corruptly incentivize co-conspiring friends of theirs to lose all morality and get rich with them. Then they so capitalize a company that any competition's resistance to its momentum is futile.

Is it morally better to buy a company like Microsoft or Intel. Just ask their competitors how moral those companies are. We have an adulterous perjurer in the White House. Morals are a thing of the past, get used to it. I have no problems with longs buying scams to make money. The key is to make money, not support saints. It's just that with Scamazon the risk/reward ratio is not compelling for me to go long. There is no justification Scamazon's market cap, especially not with the news of the last month i.e. Walmart suit, B&N - Bertellsman merger, losses increased beyond 2000 etc... The scam in Scamazon is just too big now, and the game could end any day (even today!)
