Glenn, the article you posted talks of the notes trading in the secondary market. I know that even bank loans can be bought and sold in secondary market transactions, but this sure looks and smells like a securities issue that should have been registered with the SEC. I've known private companies that disclosed much more about debt issues that were much less widely distributed or traded. It sure seems wrong to me that hundreds of credit analysts and portfolio managers know a whole lot more about the risks imposed by this debt issue than the investing (and I use that word loosely) public does. Hell, they probably even know what AMZN paid for its recent acquisitions. Bob
