Mike when are you looking for this correction, and do you have a reason?

This market is showing the last hurrah before a very sharp correction begins...The internets have pretty much petered out and are due for a hammering along with the high flying techs...<< Mike we just had a rotational correction in techs up to 30 and 40 percent, and in net stocks up to 40 and 60 percent. The economy is strong, signs of Asia coming out of slump and many other signs that our economy is very strong. The key to this is earnings... i think earnings will be good and better than what was forecasted for the yr.

Today I got my $5 gift certificate. It came by e-mail, "... we noticed you haven't shopped here in a while (at least with this e-mail address) and we hoped that a $5 gift certificate might get your creative shopping juices flowing again." This sounds like a good ploy at first. But then I was wondering, why me? I was not their loyal customer, because I switched to BAMM and I am in BAMM's discount club. It would seem to be a better idea to give the $5 give gift certificates to a loyal customer of Amazon, and not to people like me. I mean the loyal customers may be driven away so they can get one too. I never heard of "selective" coupon giving, and it does not seem fair. Any ideas on this gimmick?
