Wow ! ->> Finally, Amazon made the point that marketing costs are the only reason that Amazon is not profitable. Ms. Covey created her own line item, EBITDMA (Earning before interest taxes, depreciation, and marketing). On this line item, Amazon is profitable."<< Man oh man , you'd think this gal would be laughed out of the room for such a gratuitous bunch of bullshit ! I've never seen anything so ludicrous from a "CFO" in my life ; even the ones who are engaging in outright fraud can come up with a more credible argument than that. What an absurd joke. In a serious financial environment , she would get ridiculed , but at the H&Q conference , she probably got a standing ovation ! Is she the same one who promised to have the note info revealed , and then reneged ?
