<<I believe Amzon needs to be calling Home Depot. It is Amazon that needs the cash, etc. I believe we can safely say that Amazon is a client of Forrester and in my opinion, they are very biased LOL. >> that's right. AMZN has no currency- cash? nope. stock? nope. accelerating growth? nope. Nothing of any value. You got it. You notice that we do not know what percentage of revenue Aamzon receives for the sales of Toy R Us toys, the handling fees, etc. My guess is Amazon was in a panic position. They were afraid of not having enough toys, the correct toys, etc. and the possibility of a huge inventory writedown was looming. In addition, toys for the falll selling season have to bought now and paid within 30 days and that would soak up a lot of cash. My guess is Amazon went to Toys R are Us and send let's make a deal and my belief is the deal is better for Toys R Us than they are for Amazon. My wife must have agreed because she stuck another pin in the Amazon bookmark after hearing of the deal. There were only 6 pins at the beginning of fiscal 2000. Now there are 15 pins. My guess is there were 9 negatives in her opinion for Amazon thus far this year.
