To be fair, I should add that revenues did go up more than 300% while expenses went up only about 250%. Even taking this into account AMZN is trending to profitability only very slowly and will need a very large amount of revenue to support the current market cap.

Don,

That is noteworthy. May I mention that quarter over quarter, from 2Q, 1998 to 3Q, 1998, the gross profit increased by eight million dollars while the operating expenses increased by about double that amount.

I guess they could kill all the advertising and get profitable, but few companies would
thrive without that.

Don,

I have a question. Do you know how much was spent on advertising and how much was spent on fulfillment? I do not. I cannot take advertsing costs out and come up with your conclusion without this information. Could you please give me the breakdown? Thank you.

Glenn
