> Why they choose to do so concerns me. They choose to because then they can proudly scam the public by saying "Our main costs are advertising- that is why we keep losing money because we are working to grab global marketshare" If they put the costs in the correct column they would have to face the ugly truth.

I find it strange that Amazon would place ANY fulfillment (other than credit card) charges into sales and marketing. Why they choose to do so concerns me. Doug, This has been a pet pieve of mine for a long time. Regardles, I am losing on the short side. I really did not mean to jump down your back regarding your being bullish on AMZN. Too much coffee and stress. I really am sorry. Also, I have to say I "hate" the company. I have a negative bias and am trying no to take it out on anyone. The market clearly does not agree with me. Glenn PS CNBC is hyping e-commerce now.
