So don't arrest the doctor and put the doctor in prison? |

I think they are, but a person has to look at the phenomenon that's occurring. I don't recall anything close to it. It's market dominance. Just the fluctuation of Amazon's market value on earnings day is the equivalent of the market value of AT&T. That cannot be permitted. Because if she doubles again to $2.8T, she can fluctuate one LLY on earnings day. |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 30 Posts: 2509 | I think the high numbers in the hundreds of billions are throwing people off mentally. It likely confuses folks. Like Apple, being worth over $3T or the Federal Deficit of $32T. It's like their brains quit working when they get out of the billions. It's even difficult to perform simple math on a calculator. |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 30 Posts: 2509 | Here's how I know something's out of whack. From Tuesday 1/3/2023 to 7/19/2023, while having weaker numbers for three consecutive quarters, Apple's market value increased 11.4 AT&Ts. Amazon is only worth a couple of AT&Ts, possibly three. Even after Apple's recent sell-off, I can guarantee Apple is not worth 27.64 AT&Ts (like it is on paper). It's nowhere close. I think what happened, is when Apple exceeded $1T in value, that allowed IPOs to open trading at $30-40B. Super-high ridiculous numbers for firms losing money. They should have broken Apple into pieces. Now we're in a huge mess. |

Per WHO there are about 1.1 million dead from the virus in the USA. Many of these are from before the vax came out. It is generally accepted that this number is inflated. But lets go with it. So, MILLIONS???? I think not. I still do not see why you care so much about individual choice. Do you get a royalty on every vax? The President is a fink. |

I often wonder if we would even use the word "trillion" if not for money. The President is a fink. |

Proving my point? Millions died BECAUSE there was no vaccine! Google pictures of NYC hospitals during the pre vax period of the pandemic, look at the pictures, and tell me the vax hasn’t saved lives! You won’t be able to. I’ll re State my position. I am NOT saying there are no risks associated with the various COVID vaccines. I AM saying that the risk/benefit ratio is extremely low. Are you in favor of seat belt laws? Motorcycle helmet laws? I’m guessing you are not… |

Why not? Why would it matter whether Amazon's market cap fluctuates more than the market value of single-sector companies like T or LLY. Amazon's market dominance comes from offering a wider range of products and services for sale, led by an army of independent sellers. Amazon is an online shopping mall, where 60% of its sales come from independent third-party sellers who set their own prices on items. Most of those sellers are mom and pop vendors. Amazon provides the opportunity for thousands of average people around the world to earn money as independent business owners. Combined, those independent vendors sell more Kirkland products than Costco. Walmart only allows businesses and not individuals to sell on their site. Costco only allows business with a product to sell on their site. |
