Hey Michelle, don't ever invoke AZW3's name in support of your argument around here. We now know your position on AMZN it is full of shit. -g-

I'm happy to own stock in the market-maker for your stocks..they will make money as it goes up, and they will make money when it goes down again. This I understand. Wall Street is a place where brokers sell stocks. The stocks they sell have to be priced to exceed that of the brokerage stocks in size and volatility, or they will have difficulty selling their own bloated stock into the 401Ks. Once in a while they all decide to short each other's stocks, and the rest of the bloatware, and start up the cycle again. They maintain a wide variety of inventory, and sometimes have to be very inventive to sell worthless merchandise at obscene prices. But that is their business, and they do it well. Just remember they make money on the short side.

Michelle, The logic that Cramer uses(and you are advocating also?) is flawed. <<Same thing with these bears on the amazon thread, they make assumptions that the longs don't know what we are doing - as Cramer would say - WRONG!>> If a person drives drunk everyday for 20 years and never has an accident and never gets a ticket....is it safe to drive drunk? Reality tells us that driving drunk is often the expedient thing to do (or so it seems at the time!) but when it ends it ends badly. Good Luck Just as a long in AMZN is drunk on the stock....
