Chuzz, As I said earlier, AMZN is really the only playpen. It is the only playpen with every characteristic of a sawdust floor a game of five card stud that is manipulated by the dealer. The dealer will eventually win but until he does they are going to give away money because they have built this vehicle (accidently I might add) that has been accepted by all the players and the odd man out are the shorts. They are the key that allows it to work. Now the key is to see signs that it is going to crash. People do not understand that when it does go down it will be because the other players, The insiders, ( I think they control about 85% of the outstanding shares ) the market makers, the day traders that know and have gotten use to the patterns and can help in controlling the action. The pattern recognition is vital here. The only way it will end is when we run out of shorts. That is when you will know it is coming down. The last key is the Float. On top of this you have ownership that knows how to manipulate the press. Now let me give you the reason why it will eventually either fail or be purchased by someone else. I am not sure anyone else picked up on this. When you have a CEO helping to load or wrap books for Christmas buyers, you have a very archaic system which demonstrates the above mentioned manipulation. I have been in many production plants and warehouses in my day and what I see is a very primitive operation but I will not fight what the market is telling me. You are not wrong in your assessment but I am not wrong in saying that MONEY CAN BE MADE HERE and a lot of it. Now that is my point, there is so much money being created here that the participants are going to make sure it continues. The last game like this was Presstek and we know what happened there. First the shorts dwindle and then they come piling back in. That is when a fortune will be made on the down size to a point and they will be bought out and some kind of normalcy will return to the stock. Right now they are yelling at you that they are giving away money. I am gong to pick up a little. again, respectfully, Voltaire
