>Bezos was quoted as saying" he won't sell his shares". >One week later he registers to sell 180,000. >Whats wrong with this story?? Nothing at all, he simply found himself in the position of making a killing by dumping stock, or keeping his word. We all know the choice he made. And the choice he will continue to make at every possibility. Bezos is not a CEO, he is a hedge fund manager. He knows how to make money in the stock market, but doesnt have a clue how to make money in the retail business. Luckily, he has some very sharp tacks working for him in the boileroom, er, PR department..

Wow! This stuff gets pretty crazy, hasn't it? I'm afraid I added three extra zeros. That would have been almost 100 Billion dollars worth of stock--500 million shares! Why did BAMM insiders sell so soon--BAMM was only valued at about 500 million? BAMM's apparently the 2nd largest U.S. chain of bookstores (171 stores). Insiders there also have filed to sell some 500 million or so. How frustrating it must be for these insiders that this info. has to be public info. Mike
