Hi Mark. I am glad to see you write that because your short term "bearishness" has me a bit worried. Bezos is sure to have a flock of initiatives starting 3-4 weeks prior to yahoo's earnings. I believe that he is a good general and wants to set the stock price up for another run. He can downplay the stock to the public, but his employees are being paid with it, so he needs to keep it volatile with a slight uptrend for it to be attractive. I'd expect a new "business" roll out on average every 2 months, but the announcements will be made after the stock has appeared to bottom.<< Eugene, my short term out look is not so much bearish, just more in the neutral camp. I'll move into the middle of the road on this stock for now and i do hold a position, but i decided to cutback a bit to reduce portfolio volatility (beta) and plus the fact it might be held back some. I think Amzn will come out of this ok and will be back on track. Sit tight i think Amzn has seen its bottom there at the 200MA.

Ek, I'm sure this was in the Seattle times, This comes from the LA Times. It seems that all Kleiner children hate BG & Co, that's why I was so surprised to see MicroSoft invest in Hlth. By the way that's another one I bailed out of. It was a TomD recommendation. I got in @ around 25, got out @ around 50. After the Msft investment was announced it went to 126. Then back to 65 now its @90. If you like volatility try Hlth. latimes.com
