I think it’s time to sell amazon stock. 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.

I have been buying 09 puts on this thing. 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.

Amazon is the go to place for books, dvds, and soon DRM free music. I see Amazon as one of the few trusted names in on-line media distribution and should continue to watch their stock rise as well as their overall services such as alexa and other things to come.

It'll be interesting to see where AMZN will go in 5 yrs. I think it's a safe investment for the time being but with the market in it's peak, who knows what could be said in the next year or so...

it is a short squeeze, you were just wrong to think it would be short lived. in a positive environment, a short squeeze can juice a stock for a year

always read the short interest on a stock you are going to short! the dumbest thing you can do is to short a stock lots of other people are shorting. remember each short must end in a BUY

I used to work at Amazon - it's not that good of a technology company. There are fundemental problems, most notabily a massive outflux of the top talent. The question you should ask any amazonian is "why are you still at amazon? can't get a job elsewhere?"

So many people I know who were there for years left recently, as did I. Amazon is a tribal knowledge company, and the tribe is disbanding. Now, bet your business on S3/EC2 - I wouldn't invest in you.
