Although if you look at the price action in the other big name internet stocks today, it would seem that the funds are beginning to underweight AMZN:


EGGS +26%
EBAY +23%
XCIT +19%
SPYG +16%
MSPG +16%
NSCP +15%
BCST +13%
INKT +9%
YHOO +7%
AMZN +2%

after talking to DLJ today. I believe the float is still thin. They kept telling me about the short Interest.

James, we know that the current float is 13 million and the short- interest is 7.3 million. Short-squeeze to a new Amzn high is "out of the question" IMHO. Cuz I think that the elephants are shorting approx the 4 million(diff. bet. 13M and 7.3M) invisible shares.
