Mark and others,

With so much new cash on hand (can't recall, something over $300MM), I wonder whether AMZN management might be less careful guarding that horde then they were when they had only about 1/3 of that amount readily available.

What I'm trying to say is that, as many here likely have experienced, you get more careful with your cash when there is less of it available. The same applies to companies. I've seen the cash crunches come and go at a number of them. Seems to be a typical psychological reaction to a tightening cash position. On the flip side, waste and boondoggles inevitably ensue when cash is easy.

Therefore, a long might be somewhat concerned that AMZN might tend to more freely burn its new found cash, almost all of which is borrowed money.
