I will be the first to agree with you that looking at recent performance of AMZN's share price would make one wonder about a lot of things. What most of us will never know is -- whether or not Jeffrey Bezos (founder and "main man" at Amazon) is now thinking like Alan Greenspan -- "How do I guide a ridiculous level of a share price down before we have it collapse suddenly and disrupt things severely ?" I assume AMZN would find it very difficult to use their stock now as "currency" in a buyout of another company. No one would dare accept it as payment, especially if they were prohibited from selling the AMZN stock for even a (relatively) short period of time. Jon.
