<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1898744, member: 30574&quot;]Well, because Amazon shareholders are not expecting too much.&nbsp; When you look at the numbers you need to look a bit deeper.&nbsp; Sure AMZN is only earning 52 cents a share today, but why?&nbsp; Did they have one time costs?&nbsp; Are they re-investing?&nbsp;&nbsp; What is the plan going forward.&nbsp; Some companies go years with no profit at all, but yet they are still very valuable.&nbsp; A lot of these companies can start making a profit any time they choose, but they choose not to and would rather spend the money to grow the buisness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now getting back to Amzn, when you look closer, the earnings estimates skyrockets from 52 cents a share to 9 dollars a share by 2015, which drops the P/E to around 30.&nbsp; Now 30 is still a bit pricey, but not so bad when you consider what a well run company AMZN is, in an economy that is improving, with the middle classes growing in a lot of third world countries.&nbsp; A lot of growth left.&nbsp; So no the investors are not planning on living 538 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
