[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 1517704, member: 34439"] You see that's why they are spending the money though. To try and find something anything that gives them a good margin. Amazons core business (retail) will never give them the profit margins to justify the stock price. They wish they were Google or facebook and all they had to do was sell ads and have massive profit margins. They may figure it out eventually. The problem will be if one day before they get there the investors turn on them. Amazon is an anomaly in the market place. Take facebook for example. They have been growing massively for 10-15 years. This whole time promising investors they would see a return on their investment. What would happen if 5 years after they went public facebook still only had marginal profits here and there? They would fold like nobody's business. I'm gonna need to see about two more years of quarters like this one before I would believe in them. If that means I miss out on huge growth so be it. I doubled my money the last 20 months I should be ok. [/QUOTE]
