>An Amazon spokeswoman downplayed the interview, saying Bezos merely meant to suggest that Internet stocks are "not for the weak of heart." Rs, in all fairness to Bezos I recall an Interview several months ago when he said the above. If the media are trying to say this is now only coming out of his mouth, that's incorrect. Poor Jeff seems to be the whipping boy for every reporter out there. I wonder why since there's so many other villains out there.? Btw Still no change in my opinion of his business model. Its f%^&#d unless he can find a bunch of Wal-Marts to bail him out. And according to Glenn he doesn't have that long to pull that off.

>>Some analysts suggested that Bezos was trying to lower estimates for the fourth quarter of 2001. Doing so, they say, would protect him from any additional SEC scrutiny should Amazon disappoint.<< 1. bezos will be wrong about q4. 2. bezos is spending more time with attorneys. >>But Kevin Noonan of the Yankee Group says Bezos has a lot to worry about, including the realization that Amazon's whole business model may have been flawed from the outset<< kevin, thank, but no thanks. many folks on this thread KNEW this FACT when amzn went public. you chime in AFTER amzn lost 92% of its value. nobody needs you. i have the newspaper to tell me what happened yesterday. have you confused analyst with reporter? >>"The laws of economics still apply to Internet companies."<< rob (not rob s, rob analyst), again, where were you 3 years ago? it's insulting to have you come out after amzn has fallen 92% to tell us what was obvious 3 years ago - as though you have special insight. DOH!
