CS, the RS numbers do show smaller losses than previously forecast. Also, the loss reductions are too large to be from share dilution (unless they know something we don't about future dilution<g>). Don't we have any bulls out their with access to RS "research"? If you can explain these revisions to us, maybe you'll win a few converts. Wonder if the Fools have any thoughts on the question. Bob

they have probably adjusted for the 5 million extra shares that were filed with SEC on form S-4 just a few days ago...... CS, You really think that? I am a skeptic not sure what to make of it. Glenn

>>> Losses spread over more shares should be smaller losses, not larger losses as RB has indicated for the next 2 years, no? <<< CS - That is correct. The "lps" has become a smaller number , but not exactly half of the former number , so they have changed something in their thinking or computing - who knows - when you're making up a projection for revenues , margins , expenses , and how the whole ball of wax is "accounted" for ( I use the term very loosely , as AMZN will no doubt create novel twists from time to time ) , I guess you can pretty much come to any figure you desire.
