william you never fail to amaze ... you must be getting desparate -- just take your earnings and pocket it -- if you must gamble more on amzn based on spurious speculation that company with limited brand name recognition based almost solely on books (and modestly on music) will become a pharmaceuticals juggernaut, than get off the hallucinogenic drugs my friend -- the silliness of this argument is impressive ... amzn is a book category killer no wait it's a music juggernaut no wait videos too no wait -- none of those things have decent margins, so it's a shop bot no wait -- that just helps destroy the margins of the commodities we sell (not to michelle, SELL, as in resell, as in do not manufacture and add next to NO value) how about, um errrrrrrr gifts -- we'll just pick a random smattering with no rhyme or reason that seems half-assed how about, um errrrr prescriptions, since all the real world pharmacy juggernauts don't have any brand name that we, a bookseller, cannot overcome ok kids -- try this one on for size -- amzn -- great idea, motivated and focused founder who simply over-reached -- giant dumb ass move by not selling out to bertelesmann when he could have and now flailing about like a chicken without its head to do the impossible -- justify a stock price that rates up there with the all time idiotic speculative manias -- lp

>>HJ, Have I ever not told the truth? My average this time in Amazon is 121, Yahoo 174, eBay 235, AOL 172, @Home 115, Siebel 42, Digital River 32, and Rambus 74. How's that 20%?<< William, In respect to you. On Tueday. IF the tech stocks appear to be taking off (I'm a little concerned about the Dell jitters). I will be buying all of the above. Except the "Thing". As I've posted before "This thing is not a stock to mess with", but I must admit, its lost its steam. Ps The only advice I can give you is, make sure you get out before the elephants start to leave. As far as Glenn and I can figure. They're still there. Regards
