CNBC has stooped to all-time lows... Market Wrap is reporting AMZN as exceeding analysts' expectations -- using pro forma figures. Pro forma results (as reported by AMZN) are clearly NOT in accordance with GAAP standards, and are for entertainment purposes only. [Earlier CNBC had reported actual results of (.90), but neglected to mention these results in any way during the "detailed" coverage.] CNBC should include the standard info-mercial disclaimer at all times. Cheers, Alan ps. I hold no current position/s on AMZN.
