Greedy? Amazon is a publicly traded company. It's all about profit margins and market share once you go public. That's the way it should be.
You're preaching to the choir here. I own a few shares of AMZN...
But that doesn't insulate them from how they treat their vendors and their employees. That recent stunt about raising the minimum wage? They cut bonuses to compensate, creating a net wash but got free publicity. Brilliant move, but little overall improvement. Not that they have to improve, they're Amazon, folks are banging on their doors to sell product and find work. They're not a charity, they're a business, and as an investor that's all I care about. I want fatter margins, revenue growth, rising share price and ultimately a fat dividend.
When I take off my investor pants, though, I see them becoming quite similar to that other company so many love to hate--Walmart. Whether AMZN will begin selling tea kettles that catch on fire(true story, only tea kettle I ever bought from Walmart ignited while trying to boil some water. Good thing I caught it before it burned my place down...), remains to be seen.
I think the biggest gripe is Bezos is likely a cyborg Terminator sent from eighty years in the future, and beneath all that flesh his red eye and positronic brain never sleep, always seeking to lash out with his electro-flail on lackeys and malcontent slobs dogging the web-train from operating at maximum efficiency. He knows he can do this, because the only man worth more than him is Putin. It's good to be the king.
I'll keep buying their shares on dips, though.
