You must admit the 'Thing' is very unique! <Seattle, Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Amazon.com Inc. excluded the media and the public from its earnings conference call, held today after the company released its third-quarter results following the close of U.S. trading. The No. 1 online bookseller said its third-quarter conference call with top executives was for investment analysts only and barred all media. The move means smaller investors without access to Wall Street research aren't privy to the call's detailed discussions of the Seattle-based company's results and outlook. ''We've always done it that way,'' said spokeswoman Kay Dangaard. ''We have nothing to say about it.'' Amazon.com's loss excluding acquisition costs widened to $24.7 million, or 49 cents a share, from $9.6 million, or 21 cents, in the year-earlier quarter. 19:03:52 10/28/1998>

Victor<The No. 1 online bookseller said its third-quarter conference call with top executives was for investment analysts only> Shit!! The only people that were invited were the Elephants riders. Mary Meeker, Jamie, Keith, Lise, and the other 4 or 5. I wonder if Jeff Vinik was invited? Did they invite Glen or Oc?? No shareholders?? Who Chaired this meeting? John Doerr??
