>That would be the wrong move because it would dilute, not good for shr. holders. >They just did a junk bond deal. They have plenty of cash What % are they paying on the 'junk', and how much did they raise? Amazon could raise a half billion dollars by just doing a seondary for 4 million shares. That's less than 10% dilution. If they do a private placement and restrict the shares, then the float will remain unchanged. Looks like management is missing a golden opportunity by not doing a secondary right now. Or is it possible that an underwriter would just laugh at the idea of selling AMZN to their clients at $125 a pop?
