4.22pm.. AMZN earnings... lousy .. a loss of 27 cents per share....vs. 15 loss .. expected.
It remains a joke of a company, the height of 'crony capitilism', with arguably the worse board of directors in the western world.
Global turnover of $70bn or so, and they still can't turn a profit.
AMZN -5.5%....but.. as ever...it often reverses on the day after earnings.
