>>>. Michael Murphy said he was shorting AMZN and they should rename the company Amazon.org <<< Yes, I heard him. Meanwhile, the same AMZn he is dissing is still trading above its 50day EMA. That 180 is looking very much like resistance. I turn bearish only when we close under the 50 day EMA for 2 consecutive days. Notice he did not mention YHOO. Meanwhile, AMZN's chart is stronger than YHOO's (which I am long BTW) --Olu E.

Murphy covered his AMZN shorts Thur, and he has yet to re-short it. Stop spreading false (or old) stories just to spam us with your web site.

Barrons: The Dow vs. the dot.coms The Week's Top and Bottom 10 \| The Largest 10 Industrial stocks continued to rack up gains in the week through Thursday, at the expense of Internet and technology issues. Strength in commodity prices helped fuel advances in names such as Alcoa and DuPont while the toast of day traders, Amazon.com, suffered on revealing its losses would widen as it spends heavily on promotions and services. Investors took profits in other Internet darlings such as eBay and America Online as well. Reflecting the rotation out of technology into more cyclical issues, the best-performing mutual funds for the week were heavily skewed towards commodity producers. Rydex Precious Metals led the pack with a gain of 8.52% on the week, for a year-to-date return of 14.22%. Robertson Stephens Information Age trailed with a loss of 6.98%, bringing its gain for the year to 14.98%. And the natural resource sector was the best overall. Of the nation's largest funds, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Dividend Growth delivered the top performance for the week, at 1.91% for a total return of 1.91% year-to-date. Big losers were Janus Fund, off 4.05% for the week, and Janus Twenty, down 3.97%

>Monday's Barron's which has AMZN as the most over valued stock Barrons: A word of warning: Just because 75 managers consider Amazon.com the market's most overpriced stock, and a further 48 feel the same way about America Online, that does not necessarily mean the shares of either company will deflate any time soon. Without question, the Big Money managers have proven themselves adept at highlighting overvalued stocks in the past, including, Presstek, Boston Chicken, Coca-Cola and Gillette. That said, shorting the stocks our panelists deem overvalued has never been a path to instant riches. It often takes a while for reality to catch up with the hype in such cases.
