Stockpickr Staff #2	Honorable Mention by snassif: Long. "While not as directly connected to Thanksgiving, my theory is one based on consumer spending in the Thanksgiving Black Friday hype. I'm a believer that consumer spending will not be as bad as expected. That said, I do think consumers will leverage lower cost alternatives like AMZN."	Love	November 27, 2009
barrons3	It should be obvious at this point that every growth-stock mutual fund manager who wants to take in new money next year feels like it is his or her mission to buy Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG). Each has a terrific growth story associated with it, each has an accelerating growth rate -- the holy grail of growth-stock investing -- and each is clearly visible, unlike, say, Saleforce.com (CRM) or Cree (CREE).	Love	November 27, 2009
abnote	I like this stock because the company is very good in how they have set their business up on the internet and I think it will do good during the holiday season. I will probably consider selling it after the holidays. I got in early and it has had a good run already.	Love	November 26, 2009
barrons3	Finerman said she "couldn't get on board" Amazon.com (AMZN) because it is "extrapolating growth to the stratosphere." Grasso, though, said large-cap funds, in the race for year-end performance, will start buying this stock because they feel underweight in it.	Love	November 18, 2009
barrons3	Finally, there is Amazon (AMZN). So many people shorted this thing off the "price war" with Wal-Mart (WMT) without understanding the changing nature of Amazon, especially now that it has bought Zappos. The consumer was hit last year by high oil prices and came over to Amazon during that period, only to discover the value and the price. People see real bargains in going to Amazon, especially people who would not shop at Wal-Mart. AMZN is a terrible short, just terrible.	Love	November 12, 2009
barrons3	Stutland says the options pits are pretty optimistic on Amazon (AMZN). I think you could still play it to the upside. He got long for some of his investors before the last earnings. At least there's a floor on this stock and I think it should hold here, he says.	Love	November 11, 2009

barrons3	We have leaders, so we have winners. Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) are making moves that have us thinking about tech in a positive way and make us recognize the power of the Web renewed.	Love	October 29, 2009
barrons3	Kaminsky said money managers are in a bind now because they are wondering how they can participate in stocks like Amazon when they are up so high. Terranova said there is more room for Amazon (AMZN) to go higher because $150 billion ecommerce industry is growing.	Love	October 28, 2009
RhinoStocks	Amazon.com rallied hard last week after investors caught wind of the company's third quarter results. Expect the trend to spill over into this week.	Love	October 26, 2009
barrons3	Q: Barron's: For starters, why are you so high on the Pacific Northwest? A: Delafield: Many companies in the Pacific Northwest are undercovered and underserved by both Wall Street and the institutional-investment community. Of course, you have Starbucks [SBUX], Amazon.com [AMZN], Boeing [BA], which still has its main manufacturing facilities here, even though it's headquartered in Chicago, and Microsoft [MSFT]. But beyond them, the coverage drops pretty rapidly.	Love	October 17, 2009
barrons3	Or Amazon (AMZN). Can you believe the stock's going up on a product? That's so old days. True bull-market behavior.	Love	October 08, 2009
supratrade	Amazon (AMZN) has become the "virtual river" for getting just about any consumer retail product you want at the lowest price possible. Books, CDs, DVDs, flat-panel TVs, pants, shirts, dinnerware, cookware, coffee and just about anything you can think of can be found and purchased at Amazon.com — and in most cases with no state sales tax and even no shipping charges. Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos out of his garage in Bellevue, Washington. Bezos attracted the attention of businessman Nick Hanauer. Hanauer believed in Bezos' idea and decided to invest $40,000 in the venture. Five years later, Amazon had raked in over a billion dollars in sales. An idea, some capital, the will to succeed and a receptive public. This is the essence of capitalism.	Love	October 03, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"On one side you have the big would-be buyers. On the other, there is a host of smaller players. The big fish are Amazon (AMZN), eBay (EBAY), Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo! (YHOO), according to Aggarwal." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10605255/1/google-yahoo-techs-top-deal-hunters.html" target="_blank">Read more from Scott Moritz here.</a>	Love	September 30, 2009
barrons3	I like The Buckle (BKE), says Joe Terranova. And I’m bullish on Amazon (AMZN).	Love	September 23, 2009

barrons3	Goldman's roster of 24 stocks with the greatest operating leverage includes Amazon.com (AMZN), Safeway (SWY), Pioneer Natural (PXD), Hess (HES), Grainger (GWW) and Applied Materials (AMAT).	Love	September 05, 2009

barrons3	It is not about the U.S. economy and what it means for factory orders to be up -- although conclusively (as my friend Matt Horween, he of the great series last week in the Opinion section on the flagship site, says) there were and are no jobs being created and the stimulus plan frankly isn't that kind of plan, good grief!). It is not about Procter & Gamble (PG) or Pepsi (PEP) or Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). It isn't even about Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT) and Cisco (CSCO). It certainly isn't about Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG), although there is some China expectation to the iPhone. Keep that in mind as everything comes down today.	Love	August 20, 2009
barrons3	Thacker oversees software and Internet-related investing while Bishop focuses on hardware and networking. Their biggest holdings include the usual suspects, such as Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Amazon.com (AMZN).	Love	August 08, 2009

barrons3	I think that Amazon's weakness in its core business of books and DVDs is secular and in some ways deliberate, and in other ways technological overrun and competitive concerns. Book sales are just awful in this country, and the decision to go Kindle ruins profit margins. Apple (AAPL) made this decision with the iPod, but in that case it was Warner Music's profit margins, to use the classic example.	Love	July 30, 2009
barrons3	I’d be a small buyer on this dip, counters Citi analyst Mark Mahaney, and if the stock drops below $80 I’d be a big buyer. There’s been no slowdown in Amazon's business over the last 3 quarters. For them it’s as if there’s no recession.	Love	July 29, 2009
StopYellingDaddy	Overvalued. Too much growth already baked into the price. The company's doing exciting things, and I might be wrong, but it's just way, way too pricey here.	Hate	July 28, 2009
