Do you remember last year when Glenn and I thought that Bezos would run out of $money? Morgan Stanley sure proved us wrong. Don't you think?? Ps BTW I own MS stock. I love a company that invests other peoples money, rather than their own and makes a huge $commission in the process, while their investors take all the risk. Don't you??
