Here's another none too flattering article about amazon.com, to add to the pile from the InvestorGuide Weekly. Not only are they doing a bad job, they haven't been all that forthcoming with investors either. http://upside.com/Opinion/398b22750.html |

Amazon.com revealed that a significant portion of revenue from one of its most profitable business units is paid in volatile internet stocks rather than cash, leading some analysts to further question the quality of the beleaguered web pioneer's financials. (source: LA Times) http://www.latimes.com/business/20000804/t000072883.html Amazon really can turn profitable, eventually. Here's how.

In brief: - A pricing glitch at Amazon.com's toy store over the weekend allowed customers to place dozens of orders for goods that were mistakenly deeply discounted. Many of the orders were cancelled after the glitch was discovered. |

Joseph Galli has had a heck of a week. The chief operating officer and president of Amazon.com for the past 13 months left his post at the most famous name in e-tailing, jumping ship to take the helm at VerticalNet, a move that surprised Wall Street and sent Amazon's shares spiraling.

Venture capitalist, Steve Jurvetson believes the whole concept of a "retail brand" is an anachronism on the Internet. The vertically integrated e-retailer, such as Amazon, is a holdover from the physical world that is entirely out of place online. The future of e-retail is horizontal, not vertical.

A while back, when Amazon was getting pummeled about the concerns on its debt, I was beginning to think that its stock was getting cheap (that is if you can ever really figure out what an internet company is worth), that the competition was going to fade away and that AMZN was going to be left standing. And, while I feel that they are still the most likely to survive, the odds of that seem to be dwindling. The Book/Cd business is going to be difficult, becuase of the low margins, and unless they can cut costs or really branch out, then there will be problems. There is so much competition for big ticket items, though. I think the group buying sites, like Mercata, have an advantage because they work as a direct mediator for the producers--they don't need to deal with inventory or any of that. I saw this from Henry Blodgett, who has always been quite bullish on the stock. Concerning stuff. "[W]e do not have a good sense of what a steady-state long-term growth rate for the company might be," wrote Blodget in a research note this morning, explaining his lowering his rating change to intermediate term accumulate from intermediate term buy. "Despite the ongoing operating margin improvements, therefore -- and our confidence that the company will likely be cash-flow break-even in 2001 -- we are less confident about projecting future cash earnings (and the associated stock valuation) than we were a few months ago." |

AMZN contines to one of the marquee companies where insider selling continues after 6 months of heavy selling. According to the "What's Next" section of this report it can't be good for the whole market when this happens. http://www.jasmts.com/visitor/ |

 Everyone seems to want to lump amazon in with all the other etailers that have been slumping and preparing to go under. But, this is going to be survival of the fittest and instead of taking this downturn as a chance to dump on Amazon, why don't people see it as a positive? The competition is dying--all these litttle guys that have tried to specialize are going to fade away and the big guys with diverse products are going to survive. The fact that these little people can't survive is good for amazon in the same way it was good for walmart and other chain stores when the specialty shops couldn't compete anymore. Moreover, I often went/go to small businesses instead of the big conglomerates because I had sympathy for them, but no one has a sentimental attachment to the proprietors of small etailing sites...oooh I feel so bad for the people at CDNow so I am going to shop there...not the same as helping out the local record shop owner. |
