Yeah! I want to clarify what that guy meant when he said Amazon moved December revenue into Jan! And that Drugstore.com and Pets.com should be adding so much to the bottom line that there should be no way they could have less revenue this qtr than last! What is it with this company - people hate Amazon so much, I don't get it really. Its as if they don't even think about what they are saying. Michelle, You are correct; people hate the company so much they make statements without any research. It may also be that this firm is more difficult to figure out. It is not impossible to figure out but their business plan and their financial reporting varies a lot from some firms. Clearly, the perception of the future is interpretation and many have strong convictions. The part that bothers me is that it is clear many people do not know how to read the 10Ks and 10Qs on Amazon. It is easy to see. I wonder if that is true with every firm but the situation of the firm for those that do not understand, is just easier to see. It would be scary if everyone buys on analyst's recommendations only. Glenn
