HERE ARE THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT FACTS OF THE Q4 RELEASE;

They were posted by 'StockFool97' on Yahoo and I thin R.D. mentioned them here as well:

1) Earnings - did AMZN meet analysts expectations? No, not at all, if you look at the financial statements. In particular, look on the B/S - there is an account named deferred charges, in the amount of $2.24 million. There was no such account in previous statements. Where did this account come from? This amount represent a charge equivalent to 9 cents a share. AMZN posted a net loss of 39 cents, include these chares, and net loss would have been 48 cents. Creative accounting?

2) AMZN now has $76 million in long term debt. Servicing this debt comes to about 5 -7 cents (conservative estimate) a quarter in interest expense. This creates additional expenses that AMZN now has to cover.
