<You should be embarassed. You make statements and do not have a clue. This is real money here. You do not know how much was spend on advertising. You do not know the margins on music. There is nothing you do know from the company release. But you state they could be profitable. You are being fooled by AMZN management and do not even know it.> Glenn, do you know how much was spent on advertising? Do you know the margin on music? So it is just a much an article of faith for you to maintain that amzn could not be profitable if it chose to be. I can understand that as an investor, one could fault amzn for its general secretiveness about its business approach. Personally, I see Bezos as lifting a number of pages from the "Business Bible that Bill Wrote." While I personally despise many of Bill's tactics, I have certainly benefited as an investor from them in the past. At any rate, why do certain bears on this thread choose to pounce on anyone who makes anything resembling a bullish statement re: the 'thingg'?
