> $2b of 4.5% money at 9% can float a zero-profit company forever. True, but Bezos seems to like losing more and more money each quarter. Just 1 year ago, their burn rate was low enough that they could have never spent that much cash.. Now, they'll burn through it within 3 years by giving books and videos away for below-cost.. Interesting transfer of wealth. Never thought I'd get a discount on my reading purchases simply because enough dumb people were throwing their cash at bezos..
