I think Amazon already knows that they have problems in the near future going head to head with Barnes and Noble. I think this is their primary reason for competing head to head with Ebay on auctions. Ebay is a fairly new operation and so is Amazon, therefor enabling Amazon to have a fair share of the market. In the longterm, Amazon will eventually lose it book market share to barnes and noble. Amazon knows they will never produce any real NET earnings,competing with BKS, and I believe they proved it by their last earnings announcement! Just my thoughts! Steve

I should reiterate a point I have made previously, namely that DJIA plays with relatively large floats do not have the same tendancy to run-up like their Nasdaq counterparts with smaller floats. Some of the mo-mo players just won't touch them. IMHO you really shouldn't compare this play with TRAC otherwise you are likely to be disappointed. Just a heads-up ...as it can be easy for a winning play to go sour. Course ... this advice is given free .... and that maybe all its worth (GG) .... Good luck everyone Stephen
