    NS is right, Ironchief;
    best trending stocks tend to have the highest PE. AMZN has a PE of 189, today.

    NOT a prediction;
    so actually, for long time that has been true. IBD [Investor's Business Daily] has proved that also, for many years. Some managers that get paid on gross, like low PE; so if one gets paid on gross..... OK LOL.Wisdom is profitable to direct

    How do you value a maturing company with such high PE? Back in 2000 at its peak CSCO had a PE of ~100, stock price of ~$80. Maybe this time AMZN is different.:D

    When credit gets cut off it'll be an interesting experience for mom and pop everywhere.

    MSFT tried taking over the world in the 90's, how did it's stock fare since?
    It's rhetorical, and that's exactly what'll happen to Amazon starting in September(hopefully).

    Cycles haven't changed in 100 years.
    Buisness cycles are governed by credit, and that is the only thing you should care about. Everything else is nonsense.

    Good news + bad news, study lots of stuff; its still worth more than bitcon. The bad news is ,strangely a $ 1040 top tail may be the beginning of the end. Hope they settle out of court, if possible :cool::caution:
