ere's a scary quote if it's accurate:

"But she (Chief Financial Officer Joy Covey) and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos said
in a conference call with three reporters that the company was less concerned with
profits than with building a successful business."

I thought the purpose of a business was to make a profit??? Hummm learn something
everyday...


Gary,

Ask Sal; you know nothing. He understands that successfull business do not make money. He understands that businesses that do not make money will someday make money. He knows it all. You are learning although, a touch slowly<VBG>

Purpose...Objective...to maximize shareholder value...no sense in wasting it on the bottom line...
