re: Anemic Amazon: Wall Street Tires Of Jeff Bezos' Aversion To Profit

I don't think so. There p/e being artificially high that is. I'm concerned with their retail heavy model and their ratios. If they had long term debt of any significance, which they claim not to, at least not a great amount, I see no reason why they couldn't finance their growth from revenue, which presumably they are doing, and pay a dividend. And yet they don't.

That's just me. Something valued at over 500X earnings had better be growing a lot faster than this, especially a retail based, highly sensitive to consumer confidence sales model.

To me they are set up somewhat like Google. They'll need to buy competitors, and every thing that comes close to eating in to their market share.
