A familiar pattern – Amazon invests for long-term success, and short-term-focused investors get nervous. In the bigger picture, AMZN hit an all-time high recently, and Amazon is preparing for a record-setting holiday commerce season.
The online retailer said consumer appetite for books and electronics remained strong. The results highlight Amazon’s dominance in online retailing, especially ahead of the holiday shopping season.
