I should think losses are particularly unhealthy for people who are dry cleaning someone else's money. AMZN might have difficulty finding the people who bought their bonds last time around. ;) This could be. Bottom line is , nobody wants to lose money, and the "hot stock" aura that surrounded AMZN when they last visited the Caymans is now badly tarnished. I have yet to get a real answer as to why that very large offering, the largest ever, was done in the Caymens. If the money used to buy the bonds was from illicit drugs, then we have TOY teaming up with an accomplice to make laundering drug money easier. These drugs typically are more of a problem with our children and TOY sells their product to the parents of children at an age just prior to the drug age. This is purely speculation but since no one ever seems to know who bought the bonds, I wonder if TOY knew prior to making this deal. Just rambling thoughts.
