gettin closer
bully beware i'm ready to maul
well looks like it trying to bottom at the area it got down to after it fell the first time after the first leg up after the cut
forming the looks of a head and shoulders type formation on the daily
AMZN will take care of the rest in AH if need be

Oh my gosh. Evidence class BLOWS.
Even though we disagree some on AMZN, what do you think it will get to, both this afternoon, and what the bottom will be?
i dunno i shorted at 94 (i'm not talking out my ass i posted it on this forum) and will probably go to sub 50 before this bear is all said and done
as for today i dunno
i just like to have fun
i'm a moderate term investor, the only trading i do is with 25% of my short postions using the ultra short proshares (my shorts make up 50% of my holdings right now), gold 15%, conservative longs 20%, cash 15% the rest
meets in 6 weeks
futures markets saying 25 BP cut 100% chance, 50 BP 52% chance
obviously you gonna see some upticks but i think that is the end of what i call a "bear shake leg" that took place over the past few weeks
now we are moving to a new leg down in the bear to a lower low
we are in a bear market long term
it is acting like a bear
they are very volitile and have viscous rallies when they do rally

everybody confused
since they have no guidence for 2008 which is what is key
actually they upped their revenue guidence
but margins were down a TON last quarter
anyway looks like AMZN holding up okay for now
regardless its got an 80 p/e we'll see if they can keep this type of growth going throughout 08 in the type of environment i think is coming
basically the result okay but not satisfactory for its valuation
its now at 74.08 vs. 74.21 close basically nothing big came out of it
oops 72.50 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!arty: man this is all over
----------------------------------------------
First Quarter 2008 Guidance
* Net sales are expected to be between $3.95 billion and $4.15 billion, or to grow between 31% and 38% compared with first quarter 2007.
* Operating income is expected to be between $155 million and $200 million, or to grow between 7% and 38% compared with first quarter 2007. This guidance includes $55 million for stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, and it assumes, among other things, that no additional acquired intangible assets are recorded and that there are no further revisions to stock-based compensation estimates.

drip, drip, drip
71.65
anyway bears winning looks like but not major AH carnage as i thought might come
at least not yet
CC starts at 5 eastern so might get jumpy after they start talking about the results
no clear earnings guidence at all
the revenues guidence is above the current estimates for 2008
the only problem is margins are going in the gutter (forced to slash prices, lots of free shipping, etc.)
like in Q4 they blew out estimates on revenue end, but only met on earnings
the margins will be a big topic of discussion on the CC
down 5% to 71 still dripping away into the abyss

and at this point the fed is pretty useless
only way they cut intermeeting is if we are getting mauled i would think
