It's been my experience on other SI threads that the people who regularly discuss stocks on SI are quite knowledgable about companies, their products, and their problems - more knowledgable than typical analysts who look almost entirely at financial statistics. But you can't take those on SI as proxy for investor opinion in general. Seems to me there will be a fair number of individual investors, as well as institutional investors who will get cold feet and bail out, particularly if they fear that interest rates will be going up soon.

Although I think the AMZN business plan is basically sound, I am a bit concerned that they are expanding into new online areas where margins could be even lower than in books, or in any case, where the profits are likely to be uncertain for several years.
