Seems like everyone hates the stock. Me too. Earnings are poor, technicals are questionable, it was downgraded by several firms. No reason for it to go down any more. So I bought a lot of it. Denleo

Amazon has one the better bullish chart patterns out there - you should do well on the position once it gets above 38.

FWIW Amazon is a well run outfit. My purchases on Amazon have gone thru smoothly. I had one problem recently from a vendor who sent me a movie DVD for region 2 which is for Europe & middle-east. The vendor gave me the run around, so I filed a complaint with Amazon and they refunded my money promptly.

Thanks Fib.

I am long the stock, so there is not much to worry about. Remember the 90s? This is much better. You can buy pretty much anything at any price and it will make money for you.

I bought it for 37.80. I don't need a stop (I am long, not short). No target. I will keep it for a few weeks.

If everyone hated the stock it would be $18 where it belongs. I think thats a tough buy where it is. I had just added to shorts. I guess we'll have to wait and see.



Good luck
