Glenn, I agree with all your accounting points, and let's not forget that Amazon counts
"some" fulfillment costs as "marketing expenses".


Dwight,

I want to clarify one error. Amazon counts all fulfillment costs in marketing. They also count utilities, security and toilet paper. They throw in the kitchen sink so to speak except it is the restroom sink unless they have a kitchen there too. In which case, they throw in the kitchen sink, the microwave, etc.

>>.and the dumbass analysts just suck it all up. <<
Go easy on these analyst's. Look they're paid to promote the stock.
No one here can deny that the "Thing" has not had it's share of promoters.
So that's why the institutions that the promoters work for bought most of the old float. At last look. I believe they still own it, and that's why William and Mark still like to mess with it.
