Amazon ... Q1 results ... selling lots and loosing lots as well ... retailing is not easy for ANYONE ... (h/t Cameron Spry for chart!)
BTW ... these operating losses look low because the business makes a lot of money selling data, advertising and other "cloud services" ... ultimately it is difficult to figure out whether Amazon is a retailer, a logistics platform or in direct competition with other admedia firms - by which I mean facebook, google and the mainstream media channels ...
