Good question. They could pay it off with a secondary offering and let the new stockholders absorb the junk. My post was awfully generous. I think the earnings dillution caused by stock options and increased float that becomes available plus the debt and increased competition factors will probably kill any chance for profits My point is that gross margins will never be enough to service the debt. Marketing cannot stop. I keep wodering why people believe AMZN will eventually cut marketing expenses. The profits that speculators envision I give a -0.0% chance of happening; better chance that they will stay negative and the company will be sold to pay off debtors, including the Senior Debt holders. This is my conjecture and it will be debated for a long time. Time will tell, however. Glenn
