More fodder for Amazon conspiracy theorists from the NY Times: nytimes.com Employees at Amazon.com, the popular Internet bookseller, recently received in their e-mail a directive from senior management that struck some as Orwellian. As part of an event that the Seattle-based company designated "Sweep and Keep," employees were instructed to purge, among other things, e-mail messages that were no longer required for business or not subject to legal records requirements. Free lattes would be dispensed in the cafeteria to those who complied immediately, the directive said. This Amazon "document retention" policy, which requires employees to expunge electronic files regularly, was followed a few weeks later with guidelines for "document creation." "Quite simply put, there are some communications that should not be expressed in written form," the Oct. 20 memo stated. "Sorry, no lattes this time!" I guess they know how to prepare for the Wal-Mart suit.

Moments to remember: on CNBC, Bill Fleckenstein, Professional Bear, responded to a semi-mocking "So why do you think this is a bubble?" question. He gave a clear, simple, persuasive, rational answer. The host smirked at this silly, distasteful argument, then said "Up next! The CEO of KTEL!" And the disco music was brought up in the background and life was once again good. Can one learn from this? Maybe. If anything, it's a cautionary tale for bears. But suddenly the desire to short GE is almost overwhelming…
