William,

I think you are a great guy. I just believe you are lost on retailing. Your other picks are great:-))))

You are entitled to your opinion. I just couldn't go by the post and ignore it<G>

William,

And in their most recent earnings report Amazon showed an increase in inventory of over 50%. The low-overhead model no longer pertains as is made only too apparent by the spending spree on which Amazon is currently embarked.

That said, I am with several other traders on this thread in being long the stock at the moment. BTC yesterday and looking for a bump this morning after the past week's meltdown.

I'll sell quickly, however, because I find the metaphysical tension of holding a stock I believe to be (yet still) grossly overvalued and fundamentally broken more than I can bear.
