Glenn -- Looks like a really smart move by ATT and not a bad idea for Time either. There are some real investment opportunities emerging -- which makes me wonder -- why do we waste our time on a loser like AMZN? It is a lousy stock to make money on for both the longs and shorts, so why not move on? I like the people on this thread, and yet I wonder why bother with this stock at this point, other than to watch it self-destruct as better opportunities come along daily? GST, I agree. I do enjoy this thread but I also need to make money. I am looking at LVLT now too. I am just looking at various news stories for what may appear to be a decent opportunity. Glenn

I wonder why bother with this stock at this point, other than to watch it self-destruct as better opportunities come along daily? Every stock that I've closely followed on an intermediate-term basis (6 months to a year) has made its move that I was waiting for after I gave up and stopped following it. I'm talking about completely forgetting about it-not knowing within $30/shr where it is, and not caring to check and find out. I've long suspected that's what will happen with the i-nuts, incredible as it seems. They'll slowly stair-step down, with the most extreme moves happening after the masses have moved their attentions elsewhere. This could suggest that bears are in for a long wait. PRST levitated for ages on hopes, albeit a ways off its highs. Then a gradual but brutal decline, then amazingly, it got a "second life", and surged back, though not of course to its old highs. Where is PRST now? Who knows. Who is even following it anymore.

RE: which makes me wonder -- why do we waste our time on a loser like AMZN? Because you and other bloodied bears are obsessed. You're as obsessed with Amazon as Captain Ahab was with Moby Dick. I can still visualize in the movie, the wreckage of Ahab's ship. The crew (AMZN shorts) floating in the water, clinging to whatever debris was floating. Off in the distance Moby Dick resurfaced, harpoons in his back, with Ahab's dead body (bankrupt Amzn shorts) entangled in the harpoon's lines. Moby Dick; magnificent, powerful and unstoppable.
