— A Piper Jaffray analyst said Thursday that Amazon.com Inc. is still taking e-commerce market share and its third-quarter growth "appears intact."

Every time I participate in a fantasy stock portfolio game I put them in. I always remember that advice about investing in things you yourself use. I love Amazon, I always shop there, and love getting gift certificates to Amazon for my birthday!   (I'm such a geek, LOL!)

 What are wheeled shoes?

 Skechers, Heelys, Crox - 3 companies that are going to have a tough time surviving

who doesn't have crox shoes? or the cheaper knock-offs?

my girlfriend has something like 15 of these - with enough colors to make a rainbow.

wheeled shoes,  i.e Heelys are shoes that have wheels that pop out when wanted and stay tucked up when used for walking- very popular with the young

Wow, thanks darikmc. I never heard of them. They must be expensive.
