Glenn. I wanted to ask if you knew of anyone who has done an in-depth analysis of how AMZN manages its money? Here is what I have in mind. I read that the CFO of Dell is quite sharp when it comes to mamaging Dell's finnances. Example. Dell buys components from suppliers but pays for them 30-45 days after their delivery to Dell. Because Dell has such a short holding period, and gets paid right away for the computer it sells, this means that Dell can enjoy the benefit of at least 30 days use of the money it ultimately pays to suppliers. I wonder if AMZN has any like the CFO at Dell. Just a wonder.
