Technical indicators for the stock are bearish and steady while S&P gives AMZN a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold rating. If you’re looking for a hedged play on this stock, consider an August bear-call credit spread above the $90 range.

Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation to Change Company Initials, Domain Name From Aug. 11 TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)-- The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation will change its company name initials from TSEC to TWSE and its domain name from tse.com.tw to twse.com.tw, from Aug. 11, 2008. In addition, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation's Web site address will be changed to www.twse.com.tw. The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation said that its current initials are easily mistaken for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The use of TSEC has therefore caused the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation difficulty in its globalization efforts, it explained. To avoid such confusion, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation has decided to change its initials, domain name, and W

Citigroup’s Mark Mahaney has upped his original estimate of Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) Kindle sales, forecasting 380,000 units sold in 2008. That’s double the 190,000 he forecast earlier for Kindle’s debut year. Now, via Reuters, Mahaney is telling clients the electronic book could be one of the hottest gifts of the holiday season—along with the iPhone—and compares it to the first year of iPod sales: “Turns out the Kindle is becoming the iPod of the book world.” He’s also upped his revenue estimate for Kindle and related items to $1 billion by 2010, up from $400-750 million. This no doubt will drive the fashionably dismissive bunch nut. Ditto for the “how-dare-you” set when it comes to comparing the clunky Kindle to the oh-so-sleek iPhone.

Amazon's next edition of the Kindle could arrive as early as this fall, says a purported insider. Speaking to CrunchGear, the tipster contradicts Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' claims that there would be no update soon and instead says Amazon will take an approach like that taken by Apple with the iPod mini: the new core model will be smaller but with the same functionality as the earlier version and will ship in multiple colors, with goals being equally to reduce the price as well as to appeal to a younger audience.

We might be seeing two new versions of Amazon.com's e-reader, the Kindle, just in time for the holiday season. The new devices are reportedly aimed at younger readers, which may mean a lower price point, the current Kindle sell for $359.00. A source has told TechCrunch that Amazon will update its current version of the Kindle with a smaller unit that has the same size screen and improved interface. The source suggested that this newer version is a significant jump in design, and is akin to three or four different generations of Apple's iPod in just one update.

amazon tivo TiVo and Amazon are looking at ways to bring product placements to a whole new level with the introduction of a new service called “Product Purchase.” With Product Purchase, viewers of certain television shows will be able to switch over to Amazon on their own TV sets and purchase items mentioned during the show directly from their remote control. No PC is needed for this to work - just shop from your chair or couch. The service launched today with support for four shows including the Oprah Winfrey Show, The Colbert Report, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Burn Notice. This service takes user/television show interactions to a whole new level and could bring new meaning to the impulsive shopping. Imagine, seeing a piece of clothing on Oprah’s show and then easily buying it the next minute on Amazon.

Seattle-based Amazon Web Services, the web services subsidiary of Amazon.com, said today that it has launched a new set of tools for the firm's Amazon Mechanical Turk services. Mechanical Turk is a play on "The Turk," a late 18th century chess playing machine which turned out to be powered by a hidden operator. Amazon's service allows companies to tap human workers to get tasks done. The firm said it has added a new, web-based graphical interface for helping businesses outsource work through the service. The new interface also includes templates for different kind of work available through the service; previously, the service was only available via APIs which required programming expertise. Amazon's Mechanical Turk services are being used for such things as image tagging, filtering, and other tasks which humans do better than computers.

By Tennille Tracy Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--It might seem like an odd time to pursue a bearish position in Amazon.com Inc., given the online retailer's stellar second-quarter earnings, but that's exactly what Credit Suisse experts suggest. Amazon shares have jumped 12% since Wednesday, when the company reported earnings of 37 cents per share - besting analysts' estimates of 26 cents - and revenue of $4.06 billion. Investors, however, might be overreacting to Amazon's quarterly report and options traders can profit from a downward move in the stock, says Sveinn Palsson, an equity derivatives strategist with Credit Suisse. While Amazon's earnings were solid, the only reason the company was able to beat Wall Street's expectations by such a wide margin was because it sold its European DVD rental unit for a one-time gain of

The New York Times reports that Amazon has begun a limited testing of its new Video on Demand service, which will replace its Unbox store. The significant difference between the two is that the new service will stream movies through your browser rather than requiring you to download them and use Amazon's video player. Users will also retain access to movies and shows they're previously purchased. The service is not expected to be particularly profitable; Amazon is most likely looking to the future.
