Hmmm I wouldn't normally say a P/E of 272.63 is a bet on slow steady growth.

- lotsofpulp 14y agoI agree, but it seems to be a fundamentally different scenario than other companies with sky high P/Es such as LNKD and FB. While LNKD and FB have yet to figure out how to monetize their product, AMZN has a relatively simple (and demonstrated) growth plan. I think many investors are simply betting that Amazon will be able to capture significantly more of the retail market, and/or new revenue streams from places like cloud services.
- gsmaverick 14y agoAre you writing this comment from 2008? Both LNKD and FB have robust revenue streams that are growing; they have figured out how to monetize their products and they are doing it quite well.
- codeonfire 14y agoWhy, because of the large amount of reinvestment that makes E trend towards zero? How does P/E signal anything about a growth strategy?
