Subject: AMZN

If AOL can raise its prices 10% and get a big boost in stock prices, why can't AMZN do the same?

The trick seems to be to lose money with every sale, but make it up with market share (wink, wink). Follow up after a few years by raising prices to what should be a point of profitability. (The street will assume that not a single sale will be lost because of the higher prices.)
