Investors in Amazon typically look to selling their stock for higher than they bought it as the way they "get their money out of their investment" So not sure why the fascination on profits. Profits are important if they become the means to achieving a higher stock price. But lack of profits hasn't hurt AMZN's price over the years or made it an unattractive stock.
