What financial report is that? Reported losses are now the lowest percentage of sales ever, and, in fact, Amazon was $37 million cash-flow positive in Q4. Ask Glenn what positive cash flow means.

Every quarter as sales have increased losses have increased. In fact, it is accelerating! I thought the last time I looked the losses were actually deceleration vs sales growth. It doesn't mean all that much anyway, the market already has AMZN priced sooo far into the future stuff like that doesn't matter yet. At best Amazon will enjoy at best maybe 5% margins, and then not for many, many years. In fact even highly successful retailers like WMT have margins of only about 3%.
