I agree with bezos that cash flow is a more relevant way to value a company. Being cash flow positive is actually more difficult to achieve than profitability anyway, and cash flow separates the real winners from the losers in e-commerce, just look at Dell. But then to add insult to injury wrt profits, amzn started expensing stock options so I have even less interest in "profits" since the "expenses" aren't real either. Bottom line- did they generate cash, and on what kind of revenue growth. Profitability will come, with time.
