We Have Significant Indebtedness

( - from AMZN's recent 10Q)

As of March 31, 2002, we had total long-term indebtedness under our Senior Discount Notes, convertible notes, capitalized-lease obligations and other asset financings of $2.15 billion. We make annual or semi-annual
interest payments on the indebtedness under our two tranches of convertible notes, which are due in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Beginning in November 2003, we will begin to make semi-annual interest payments on the indebtedness under our Senior Discount Notes. We may incur substantial additional debt in the future. Our indebtedness could limit our ability to obtain necessary additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes in the future; plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and react in the event of an economic downturn.

We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with covenants in our indebtedness, we will be in default.

Man Swallows Ring at Jewelry Store

By The Associated Press

BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — A man with an appetite for the finer things has been charged with shoplifting after reportedly swallowing a gold ring he came across at a local jewelry store.

John Walker, 42, was arrested Tuesday after police were called to Leo's Jewelry. A clerk said Walker was handling two rings, pushed his chair away from a counter and fell to the floor. The clerk said when he got up one of the rings was missing.

Walker allowed police to pat-search him, but during a conversation a bright object was seen in his mouth, police said. When asked what it was, Walker swallowed.

Police then requested a search warrant to have an X-ray taken. The ring, valued at $629, was spotted in Walker's stomach, Capt. William Fitzgerald said.

Police also found that Walker was wanted on a Lancaster County theft warrant. He was being held in the county jail in Lincoln.

"It would take about 60 years for AMZN to pay off its debt at the last 12 months' operating cash flow rate. "

Glenn,

You have to admit that AMZN has been far stronger than anybody expected.
If you have told me at the beginning of the year to invest $10K in either MSFT, INTC or AMZN, I wont have chosen AMZN, but I would have been wrong!
Seems like AMZN is here to stay, especially since most of it's online competitors are dot.gone!!
