AMZN did a 3 for 1 split... Won't that also increase the float to reduce volatility and short squeezes? Or do we have to wait until the price triples? What a POS in a looney market. (sour grapes due to worthless Dec puts . . . )

LT, AMZN "...makes no money and likely never will...." This may be madness but come on now LT, never's a mighty long time. Didn't your mama ever teach you something about never saying never? Me thinks the un-crash the market's been having the last few months is turning you into a curmudgeon. No disrespect intended, I just like that curmudgeon word, curmudgeon. <G> Alski

Luc, you are incredible. NEVER in my life have I experienced anyone with the tenacity as you exhibit. If we ever meet, I gotta buy you that beer. You folks might want to check out HS. It is a computer/networking distributor that does it's business in Europe. They have an excellent growth rate and a PE around 8. It has recovered from around 6 to 15 since the previous market dip in October. Still has some way to go methinks. Also continue to keep an eye on QCOM. Their numbers just keep getting better. The partnership with MSFT only helps to prove their future staying power. <G>
