<< You can't be serious!!!!........before interest, taxes, depreciation and marketing, AMZN is profitable?!?!?.........Well, that is every expense they have!!!???

The ignorance displayed on these threads is all the proof that I need that the last of the food chain is in the market and that we are at the top.......>>

CS, may be it is due to my English you decided I am serious, but as to ignorance, the excerpt is from Briefing's report on "a very solid, information packed presentation by Joy Covey, [Amazon] CFO".

Frankly speaking I wish I would be ignorant nowadays. I would buy a tons of KTEL right after it jumped as little as 100%, I would buy MARG, AMZN @50, YHOO @60 and guess what - I would already retire. Instead ... OK, there is a popular proverb in here: "if you are so clever, why you can't make enough money?".

Kind regards,
Alex

Well not exactly - what about the cost of goods sold? I guess they are saying they are not selling books below cost. Agreed that it is a very silly/meaningless thing to say...
