How would he know the difference? Management teams through history have called losing money "investing in the future". Since AMZN is in love with "pro forma" financial presentations instead of real financial statements, lets see them do one where they strip out everything legitimately called investment (with explanations of what the adjustments are) and see if they make money.

You will not see it because then the stock really would go to $10

Moreover, its the efficiency of business in general as measured by return on invested
capital.

Return on invested capital is what I have been following regularly.

Henry Blodget points out today, there is a
big difference between 'losing' money and 'investing' money.

This is correct and Amazon is unequivically losing money not investing money. They have made no money to invest.

The hype here is totally amazing.

Buy it on faith LOL.
