While quarterly earnings per share and revenue results are often the most widely looked at metric of a company's financial position, Wall Street also considers other important factors such as guidance or margins, just to name a few. As a result, stocks often trade wildly around an earnings announcement: seemingly weak sales and EPS numbers do not guarantee downside and a stock could still trade higher due to a better-than-expected guidance range, for example.

=DJ OPTIONS REPORT: The Case For A Bearish Position In Amazon

By Tennille Tracy Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--It might seem like an odd time to pursue a bearish position in Amazon.com Inc., given the online retailer's stellar second-quarter earnings, but that's exactly what Credit Suisse experts suggest. Amazon shares have jumped 12% since Wednesday, when the company reported earnings of 37 cents per share - besting analysts' estimates of 26 cents - and revenue of $4.06 billion. Investors, however, might be overreacting to Amazon's quarterly report and options traders can profit from a downward move in the stock, says Sveinn Palsson, an equity derivatives strategist with Credit Suisse. While Amazon's earnings were solid, the only reason the company was able to beat Wall Street's expectations by such a wide margin was because it sold its European DVD rental unit for a one-time gain of

Elizabeth, What about Amazon using book sales as its loss leader? You know, where a ...

IN RESPONSE TO THE BOOKLOCKER / AMAZON ANTITRUST CASE: What self-publishing services like BookLocker need to come to terms with ... is that Amazon is a business and like any business ... must make a profit. Amazon has been accepting an influx of self-published books that don''t offer any profit. Amazon''s BookSurge (for the record) also participates in this influx ... the only difference being that BookSurge makes a profit for Amazon. Many self-publishing services offer an extremely minimal wholesale discount that (after the wholesale distribution source like Ingram takes its cut) leaves the reseller (like Amazon) with little to zero profit margin. Why would any retailer carry stock that they cannot make a profit on? BookLocker is among those self-publishing services that do not provide a reasonable wholesale discount on its books.

Amazon Updates Mechanical Turk

Seattle-based Amazon Web Services, the web services subsidiary of Amazon.com, said today that it has launched a new set of tools for the firm's Amazon Mechanical Turk services. Mechanical Turk is a play on "The Turk," a late 18th century chess playing machine which turned out to be powered by a hidden operator. Amazon's service allows companies to tap human workers to get tasks done. The firm said it has added a new, web-based graphical interface for helping businesses outsource work through the service. The new interface also includes templates for different kind of work available through the service; previously, the service was only available via APIs which required programming expertise. Amazon's Mechanical Turk services are being used for such things as image tagging, filtering, and other tasks which humans do better than computers.
