I like it. Good thinking. You can already see a lot of evidence that the Wall Street firms are scared to death - higher margin requirements for specific stocks, market makers running away from these things. That's a very good point - nobody is going to take the legal risk of doing an offering at this valuation. It makes so much sense to do one, but a Morgan Stanley is not going to let its reputation be tarnished by something so unethical. And of course, a smaller firm which would love to do the deal has got to worry about losing it all in a lawsuit. Beautiful. Where do you think it trades post-bankruptcy? 300? 400? JJC

You are leaving out all other financing options, i.e. issuing more junk, issuing Convert's (convertible pfd, etc), bank financing. Anyway, even if Amazon were to get into trouble, The Fed will just bail us out like they did with LTC :-)
