Not so much that..but rather the moment the steady flood of cash from sales quits pouring in (in ever increasing amounts) then they have a problem.
They are not losing money, in fact they are showing a small (compared to revenue) profit. But as big as they have become they still are showing 20% annual sales growth. That is amazing. The flood of cash from current sales fuels growth..most everything is plowed back into the business.
He whole online thing still has a long way to go. We're all gonna be busy for years to come.

Bezos just took a 6 billion dollar haircut on stock loss.

Yeah but it's paper loss, he's not selling the company today.
He's also had plenty of days where the company value (based on stock price alone) went up billions of dollars in a day.
Saying those big numbers makes it sound like a much bigger event then it really is.

Amazon stock is only down to where it was last October. One year ago it was trading around $300, so even with this correction the price almost doubled in a year.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Found this interesting. Everyone says Amazon spends so much on R&D that's why they don't make a profit.
Well not really

The difference being is that all the companies spending more than Amazon can recoup their costs in the price of their product. Not much competition.
Amazon has too much competition, and must keep their prices low in order to survive. They cannot recoup their R&D costs, unlike Pfizer, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.
The second factor is what is exactly included in the Amazon R&D percentage?
Are their airplanes, new warehouses, etc included in this percentage?
