Who Likes AMZN Puts Here?
I want to run an idea past you guys to see what you think. We've seen some pretty flabbergasting moves so far this earnings season, especially on Friday with GOOG (disclosure: I'm long) closing up $122 a share and CMG (which I don't own, sadly) closing up $70 a share. So I'm looking around thinking...

Bezos, tech industry and the future of the Newspaper business
Technology went to Washington this week with the purchase of the Washington Post by Jeff Bezos for $250 million. Why did Jeff Bezos buy the Washington Post? has been a widely pervasive question in social media this week and I thought to bring the discussion to WSO today. So here’s my first...
Ready For the Internet Sales Tax?
It looks like the free ride might be coming to an end. President Obama enthusiastically endorsed legislation that would introduce an Internet sales tax , perhaps even by year end.

WTF? Can someone explain?
I feel completely dumbfounded and want to know why. Apple has a record breaking quarter and their stock prices takes it up the ass. Now, after market closed today, Amazon reported their earnings and they MISSED every single mark set by analysts. Amazon 's EPS was .07 below analysts, and Amazon 's...

Working at Amazon [as a brand specialist]?
I recently began entertaining the idea of moving out of consulting, and ran across the Brand Specialist role at Amazon . I've been at a non- MBB firm for the past two years, and with the limited scope of work that we perform, felt like I was beginning to become "pingeoholed" I was wondering if...
Amazon Pathways Operations Management
I found this program while looking through the Amazon MBA website: http://college. Amazon -jobs.com/ Amazon -ops/ Wanted to see if anyone knew about this program and what kind of exit ops it would provide. Would this be a good path to COO of a company or is that more often someone involved in the...
iPad Sales Waning?
The tablet wars are definitely heating up. With Amazon announcing the introduction of the new Kindle Fire priced at only $199, it appears they're going for the iPad jugular. Now JP Morgan is reporting that Apple has cut supply-side iPad orders by 25% for the 4th quarter. Apple still expects to sell...

Amazon operations finance exit opps
Hey Everyone, I've received a really great offer from Amazon for their operations finance team. Amazon is APPARENTLY (no idea if this is true) big on switching roles every 1.5 years or so I think I can switch to corp finance pretty easily - what are the exit opps?

Banking Apps: Fad or Future?
I am quite comfortable with being a technophobe. I don't have anything against technology, but in many ways am still not sold that many recent inventions actually improve our lives. In more than a one respect, I think the myriad of techno-options available for daily exercise only add to unnecessary...
