"mr. bezos, when do you expect amazon to file a positive earnings report to the SEC? watch that punk stutter then. :-) Well some disagree but I doubt this will ever happen. I dislike the man as you know and I dislike deception. For what it is worth, I really doubt Amazon can even do a proforma profit even the way Jeffie defines it in Q4 2001. Merchandising will be a real problem. I have been in retail long enough to know vendors look at working capital and the larger ones do not have a choice to extend credit. They carry insurance on their receivable and the insurance companys go strictly by the numbers. The insurance company receives the premium whetehr a vendor sells to Amazon or skips them and sells a little less produt. There is not a vendor out there that has Amazon as one of their major customers. Maybe the company that supplies Amazon's shipping box with their logo on it, considers Amazon a major customer<VVBG>
