>>>In her August internal MSDW memo regarding Amazon, she bragged about how she is lowballing estimates in order to "swing for the fences." What is an "internal" memo? Anyway, I pulled up the research report just now, dated August 4. It says that "the team from Seattle [Amazon.com] is "swinging for the fences." That is, Amazon is spending even more money on marketing (ie., customer acquisition). The report then talks about how AOL spent so much marketing money early on, etc., etc., etc.... I don't follow where all your stuff about Meeker/MSDW "lies to the public" for devious profit purposes is coming from. -Sal
