The retail industry at present is not up to par, and this mess we have for a national election is not going to help improve the situation. Sell the stock and take some profit, wait for the stock price to decline and buy it back. I believe it will decline.</p> I think it’s time to sell amazon stock.

It ran too far too fast. Momentum is one thing, backing up those numbers is quite another. I love the service and use it all the time, but just because it's popular doesn't mean it can support these ratios.</p> I have been buying 09 puts on this thing. It ran too far too fast.
