Then her argument about growth in books going from 825% in 1997 to an estimated 90% in 1999... I guess she doesn't understand the role of setting beatable forecasts. Wizard, The growth in core book sales as a percentage is slowing. That statement was not incorrect. In fact, most of the facts in the article are correct. I am not sure how that correlates to the AMZN stock price. The other issue which William Harmond has pointed out some time ago specifically when we discussed cumulative customer numbers, is the performa number that Amazon uses is being done with all the Inets so the analysts are consistant in reporting the Inets. This becomes another issue of free publicity for Amazon. Glenn

>>I am not long this stock but I see an entry price on the horizon with analysis such as this...<< Wizard, I love that name. Have you ever heard of Merlin the wizard of King Arthurs fame. He told all the shorts to get back in @221, they've been in love with him since. @ what price do you want to pay the shorts for your stock purchase. I'd suggest in the 90's will be a good place to start. Does this wizard carry a magic wand? If so i'd like to borrow it. I'd love to know what tomorrow brings. Ps Maybe if I could touch Bezos head with your magic wand, he'd talk. This is the only CEO in America that refuses to talk to the American media unless it's on his terms. Whether you like Barrons or not, It is one of the most widely read and respected Investor publications on earth. Other than Bezos, any other CEO would have returned their calls ,especially if they've been critical. You see most CEO's will always return criticism with fact. The article to Glenn and me, seemed loaded with fact. I know that when the Wall Street Journal specifically Becky Buckman, asked him if he has hedged any of his personal stock, he said "No comment" and hung up. By the way, the only 2 that know if Bezos has hedged his own stock is Bezos and Morgan Stanley. Trust me on that. Next??
