>>Anybody know if efax is marginable with most online brokers or is it in the same arena as ebay and amzn (not marginable)<< No eFax is, not available to margin because it's too new. I don't understand what you mean about eBay or Amzn not being able to margin.. If you have sufficient $cash balances to back it up. There shouldn't be a problem. That's the asset of using a full service broker.

AMAZON.... Did you see the New York Times Magazine story on Amazon.com? Pretty good, actually. The point was, the STOCK is the story!! (Like Marshall McLuhan, the media is the message.) That the company's line business almost is its stock price. Better than the usual NYT Mag piece, which is increasingly irrelevant (stories like "The Triumph of Intellectual Transgender Sexuality on American Campuses" or "Golda Meir's Enduring Legacy." YEAH! BTW, where did Intel close today??). Anyway, good Amazon story. Couple quibbles: Author kept saying how bad the jobs were there--journalism error 101: SHOW them how bad, never really described. And as far as Amazon being a cult, well, all new, hep companies are like that (Dell, Starbucks, Sun, etc....). And forget about Bezos' wife.... But it was worth reading....
