>>Still might be room for improvement but I have pretty good confidence in what they write.<< seattlep-i.nwsource.com >>She said analysts expect to see "very, very modest profits" in the fourth quarter, as founder Jeff Bezos has promised<< kirk, here you have an aanalyst saying that a ceo of a billion dollar company promised profits. what is a reasonable, rational person to make of this? i KNOW that bezos really promised LOSSES under the guise of pro forma "profits." pro forma means hypothetical means not real. not real profits means a REAL LOSS. it is CLEAR what is going on here and this is just ONE example of the street and the companies misleading as many people as they can without getting arrested.
