Actually, the turnover is now around 3 days. Must be a lot of long term "buy and hold" people, right? :) >Did you see the turnover on that stock. 17 days.

ya, i know people who shorted dell at 15 and still hoping to cover some day. then they shorted more at 31. take your time to cover. beauty of amzn is that it does not have to have earning to go up. just few press realease at every option expiry and it goes up. btw: my basis is on amzn is pretty low and i don't even watch the stock. u dont have to be a long term holder to get a low basis on amzn. good luck to u. even if this thing drops like a hot potato i will be in green. i m waiting for $400 and another 3/1 split , wake me up then

Why split 3-for-1? Why not 5/10-for-1? In any case today's post-close News of the new facility in Nevada will maintain the price momentum. Folks just love their books/music/software. Whenever I go into Borders/Barnes&Noble/Chapters etc. they never seem to lack customers. I buy from these stores - but mostly online these days - as with banking and stock/fund transactions. There's a revolution going on out there... If I had shorted AMZN I'd be puking about now - so I didn't. David.
