		brianpgordon on Nov 6, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: What I Learned from Losing $200M (2015) My understanding is that Amazon's management believes that they can "flip a switch" and stop expansion and R&D, making them suddenly ludicrously profitable. Investors are fine with that because the longer management holds off on flipping the switch, the higher the eventual eps will be.
