The only good thing I can about AMZN is that I do like buying books from them because they are fast, cheap, and easy. In fact, I bought some books from them this week. On is entitled "How to Survive in the Wilderness" and the other "Basic Survival Techniques". I figured that since I spend a lot of time in the woods this time of year hunting, they would be good books to read. I'm also beginning to think the whole world has lost it's mind and I want to be prepared to "head for the hills" if the bubble bursts with nuclear force. (for those without a sense of humor, I am just kidding about the last part).

Another footnote about ATHM- according to a clip on CNN today, insiders sold a boat load of ATHM back in the 40's. I guess they didn't know it would hit 70 today.

(c) count short sales
(d) buy stock
(d) out a strong biz' blurb
Repeat with (b) not necessarily a)

Sometimes (e), do a "balloon" bond maturing after Y2K.
