WOw, the bad news for AMZN is really starting to surface. I always wondered why a company with piling losses and no chance for earnings for years would be at the price it's at but it was an internet company so why not. Now it looks like it will be cut down to size. The big question is whether it takes all the internet with it. I think the E-commerce ones will be hit, not as bad as AMZN is going to but I bet they fall. Others like AOL, CMGI that actually make money should hold up better but they will probably take a little hit too. I think it'll be a buying opportunity on stocks like these, AOL, CMGI, SFE etc. As for AMZN. I wouldn't touch it unless it dropped crazily like to 75 or so. Then it might be interesting.

<<<<<If so, why did one of the two largest AMZN shareholders just hedge their entire position with an offshore offering today? A swiss franc issue, 20MM Call warrants, strike price $200, expires February 28, 2000. Now 20MM warrants is equal to only two shareholders shareholdings. Mr. Bezos, or Deutsche Morgan Grenfell. Now I will ask this Board to speculate as to why anyone would want to buy those warrants, but most importantly whose shares are backing them, if at all. Could these be covered calls? And if they are, is someone protecting his/her downside even more? Why did GS sell this deal in Europe and not in the States?>>>> Did you or anyone else on this thread ever discover who the $20 million call writer was/is?
