The current big issue with Amazon has to do with how well its partners are doing. Its partner Toys R Us is still losing money. The current relationship between Amazon and Toys R Us reminds me of the relationship Boston Market had with its developers. Boston Market was making lots of $$, but the developers of the franchise stores were losing money. The losses that were being incurred by the developers never showed up on the Boston Market income statement. Boston Market eventually got hit when the developers defaulted on their loans from Boston Market.
