What Should Amazon Do?
from the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately dept
It appears that the Wall Street analysts have put Amazon in quite a bind. After years of massive expansion and revenue growth (without profits), they suddenly spun around and demanded profits. So, Amazon cut costs, and have been getting closer and closer to profits. Of course, the downside of this is that their growth isn't as impressive as it used to be. So, good old Wall Street is suddenly trashing them for hurting their growth. Just another example of why being a public company can suck.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
