Ted David just interviewed the vice chairman of barnesandnoble on CNBC. You would swear that Ted David owned his nest-egg entirely in AMZN shares judging from the tone of his voice and anger of his questions. He just kept hammering "anti-trust" over and over, didn't really perform an interview at all. Reminded me of the greaseball who debated Bill Fleckenstein on CNBC for the bull/bear segment..

Something is broken in this market. We're down 80 points, yet every internet stock across the board is up, and up insanely.. Yahoo up 5, EBAY up 6..

An article recently stated that most online day traders tend to buy internet stocks because that is "what they know".. And with schwab reporting that 25% of their trading volume is from the online users, it appears the supply of "suckers" is getting bigger every day.

Perhaps it is time to go long on a number of these issues (except amazon), simply because there are more and more suckers every second who buy the first stock that pops into their head.. It's the worlds largest chain letter, and there are tens of thousands of people reading it for the first time every day- and most of them are willing to send the 5 dollars to the first 5 names.
