Their accounting practices are Enron-esque, selectively internalizing expenses while excluding others, likewise for revenues.

I personally think it is more fundamentally important for a business to deliver the product to the customer, than to worry about market share, profit margin, and stock pricing.

For example, I ordered a book from Amazon Sept.15, and received an email Oct.15 that it will be delayed another 4 weeks, till around Nov.13. Meanwhile their website states that the book is in stock. Direct from their webpage for my book order, I quote:

"Usually ships within 11 to 13 days".

If I cross my eyes and drink a few beers, it just might read 'two months'. When I get their next delay notification I'll consider that route.
