If memory serves, Bancboston/robertson has a financial/client relation with amzn (ipo/debt offering). Strange how we fools turn our backs on these big bokerages, choosing instead discount brokers.
We claim we do our own due diligence, but here is a post representing BancBoston/Robertson's opinion. If this stock is such a great buy, why does it need to be promoted so ?

Amzn has resorted to discount coupons in an attempt to maintain revenue growth (they've admitted it's going flat). Their margins are getting worse, not better (look at their most recent quarterly reports).

To BancBoston/Robertson, Blodget, et. al. ...give it a rest!

The mistake your making is, thinking 2 years out. You must be from the old school. Planning so, little far out.

John,

You are too hung up on Amazon's lack of fundamentals. I was being sarcastic. I am one of the few Amazon bears still living to discuss it<G>
