from tmf <<<>>I went to the gift section recently with all the plans of buying a lot of presents there, and was distressed at what I discovered. Am I off the norm and are others happy about how that section is working?<< I too became a stockholder (long) after I became a customer. I also think the gifts section is more hype than substance, having been very disappointed when I tried to shop for my grandchildren. >>but I realize that they need to start making some money sometime. Don't they?<< I am also concerned about the what seems to me to be manipulation of the stock price through news releases. Unless Amazon management concentrates as much energy on making a profit as it does boosting the stock price it's more like a chain letter than investment, and those of us left at the end will get stuck. Don't get me wrong, I am not about to give back the profits I have made, but I am seriously considering getting off this particular roller coaster.
