just checking in ... note from the real world .. 2 full pg. ads in today's wsj

1. barnesandnoble.com for business books.

2. buy.com --- comparing its prices to the more expensive competition in 6 categories -- yes amazon was the target for books

get with it folks, to the extent that this co's future is hitched to books, music, videos and the soon-to-be announced software store, it's dead -- margin slashing competition

everyone else is always reinforcing amzn's image as a bookstore
and you think that they'll become a trusted name for drugstore.com or for shop the web -- no no my deluded bulls (are there any of you left? come on, this hype machine has a few more manic days and weeks left in it when you can pretend that stock manipulation and speculation justifies your lunatic rantings)

lp

ps william if you sold all these stocks why do you still hang out on the internut boards???

You obviously failed Reading 101. Read KeepItSimple's post, and then mine, and if your IQ is greater than 80 you would be able to figure out I never stated anything about 1) 80+ pt loss, 2) confirmed or denied "hype" by AMZN, or 3) ambassador program by itself = justification for valuation.

Please read the comments and address the issues at hand before spewing turd all over this thread.
