"In online bookselling, Mr. Blodget estimates it costs Amazon.com Inc. of Seattle, Wash., about $50 million to $100 million a year to develop and maintain its Web site. " Blodget is Merrill's analyst for Amazon. He also received his reputation (what that is depends on one's perception) by causing a short squeeze of the Amazon stock in 1998. It seems to me that there is a fair amount of difference between $50 million and $100 million. How can one project earnings or losses if one does not evne know what the cost of one aspect of the operation is within 100%?
