Anyone worried if AMZN is downgraded on Monday. Could put a damper in the COOL frenzy. P.S. Agree with you. COOL is being pumped and hyped like crazy on SI and Yahoo boards. Lot's of Yipee Skipee, but no serious discussion and analysis. Still don't understand why a 10,000 block buy is seen as an institution buy. I know many individual investors who can easily buy 50,000 shares in COOL if they really wanted to. I monitored the Times and Sales all week and the trades were 85% sub 1,000 buys. Small fish, not institutions. There may be a few brokers buying, but no one can tell how much they are really holding. TWICK

Nelson/CGarcia, re institutional buying. From the action I saw in the p.m.there was no sign of instituional buying during the afternoon These usually are blocks of 10,000 minimum. The biggest I saw going through was 5000. The biggest sell was 1700, & I saw a lot of biggish 'bets' being placed just under 31 on the rebound at end of day. Personally I wouldn't worry about institutional buying for the short term as its the retail buyer and short covering that will move the stock. People seem to go from stock to stock with news ... AMZN, NSOL,CMGI and now UBID. Question is ... which will be next and what will be the catalyst ???. Well ... COOL has some news coming !! :) Good luck all Stephen
