Anaxagoras, all of this excitement over BNBN is silly IMO. I think that the real issue is that BKS will be able to off-load a losing venture which will substantially enhance its profitability. In addition, when a secondary offering comes, BKS will be able to generate significant cash from the sale of stock. I am also convinced that significant incremental profit will be derived from the purchase of Ingram (which accounts for a significant portion of AMZN's book purchases). TTFN, CTC
