Amazon....

Quote from Susannah:



I'm on a few other family oriented message boards and a big topic of discussion is always ways to cut household spending. <b>People are always suggesting using the Amazon Prime (pay $25 for the year and then shipping is free for things)</b> instead of driving around to places to shop. I think Amazon is benefitting from the high price of gas. [/B]

Errr, Amazon Prime is $79.00 a year not $25.00

Sorry, you're right, I was thinking of the free super saver shipping with $25 when I typed $25. Amazon Prime and the super saver shipping are often mentioned by people, especially since they apply even to some of the groceries on Amazon (and diapers).
 
Well it is easy to see how you typed $25.00 when as you said that is the super saver shipping free order amount for most items.
 
In a note to clients late Monday, Goldman Sachs analyst James Mitchell kept his "Buy" rating and $98 price target for the shares (AMZN). The analyst said that Amazon's business model "has proven highly successful in Japan, a case study for limited credit extension and weak consumer spending in recent years."

He added that Amazon finished its second quarter with $1.1 billion in net cash, which means it could keep investing against its business plan as rivals see hard economic times.

Mitchell also said that "capital constraints may prompt particularly hard-pressed rivals, such as Circuit City (nyse: CC ), Borders and DSG International, to shut stores, pushing more consumers to shop at sites such as Amazon instead."
