This is a quote for another source: "investors of something. You and your money are the hunted. Some in the investment community are out to get your money with their stock promotions. To complete the final phase of their money printing machine, they have to launder their paper and turn it into the real thing. Cash. We are not talking about the legitimate and hard working people who run many public companies. We are talking about the power strokers who build a deal with all the right pieces. Good story, good share structure, good names on their board, good financing and most importantly, good dreams. With this, they can dangle the bait for the investor, allowing them to sell their paper to the unknowing victim. Only one thing is missing. Real value. By the tone of our comments, you would think we are advising everyone to avoid these kinds of stocks. To the contrary, we suggest you find them and turn the tables. You can make money with these stocks going up and going down, enjoying the liquidity that the promotions provide. Just remember our simple advice; don't believe in the dreams. Let the market tell you what to do, it never lies. Enough Said." Glenn

William, <The long-term chart goes from bottom left to top right.> Well, actually the chart goes bottom left to "middle" right. The "top" part has been cut in half. But I have a question to whomever might know. Is the facility in Nevada in use yet ? The company had $250 M sales in 98Q4, with a lot of strain on facilities and labor. They forecast an increase in 99Q1. I think this implies utilizing added facilities, possibly in Europe. Does anyone know European postal and delivery rates ? Are they more favorable than US rates ? Are there any synergies between a European retail delivery service and its US parent ? Does anyone know whether they all employ a common computer center in Seattle or is there another center in Europe ? Is acceptance of the internet in Europe as extensive as in US ? more? less? Do any of these factors matter to amzn stock price? -Sarmad

William--bubbles don't chart well. I think there is plenty to indicate that those who have been bullish on the nets will not see the shift in the trend until it is way to late to do anything about it. If you buy the dips -- whether it is 117, 96, 70, 50 or what have you -- you stand to lose money in a downtrend. If you think the trend is up, you will make costly mistakes -- I think that has been happening to lots of people on the way down -- and I think it is going to get worse. When the trend becomes 'obvious' we will see volume pick up.
