http://www.businessinsider.com/r-amazon-sheds-52-billion-in-market-value-after-report-on-trump-threat-2018-3
(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc's shares fell as much as 7 percent on Wednesday, wiping out about $52 billion from the company's market value, after a report that U.S. President Donald Trump wants to go after the U.S. tech giant. Trump has talked about changing Amazon's tax treatment because he's worried about mom-and-pop retailers being put out of business, Axios reported earlier on Wednesday. Amazon could not be immediately reached for comment. "Capitol Hill wants Facebook's blood, but President Trump isn't interested. Instead, the tech behemoth Trump wants to go after is Amazon," the news website reported, citing five sources who have discussed the issue with him. The report comes at a time when tech stocks are already under pressure after Facebook Inc acknowledged earlier this month that user data had been improperly harvested by a consultancy firm. "With Facebook and regulatory worries the last thing nervous tech investors wanted to see was news that Trump is targeting Bezos and Amazon over the coming months as this remains a lingering cloud over the stock and heightens the risk profile in the eyes of the Street," GBH Insights analyst Daniel Ives said. Trump had in the past criticized Amazon and its founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos, who is also the richest person in the world with a net worth of more than $100 billion, according to Forbes. Bezos also owns The Washington Post, a newspaper Trump has repeatedly railed against in his criticisms of the news media. "He's obsessed with Amazon," a source told Axios. --- ...

I am absolutely NOT a Trump supporter, but I think I can actually get on board with this. The rate at which Amazon is slowly taking over the world is kinda creepy, and it's starting to make their original business as an online market suffer. I'm all for capitalism but Bezos def gives off real monopoly bad vibes...

agreed 100% with krojen, amazon is consistently a corporate-sector disruptor, not a mom-and-pop disruptor
also a 7% decline is laughable to any amazon investor who has been around for more than a year i remember back in 2010 when its volatility was off the charts if it retests the feb 8 low i'm buying (i guess 1391 around noon today kinda counts?) ill write in a 1350 limit order for 100 shares and we'll see if it ever gets triggered. prob no. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

interesting that pro-capitalism people post ITT and don't comment on what's actually happening. i wonder why.
the President of the United States is butthurt over Bezo's newspaper hurting his feelings and he's talking about initiating taxes against Bezos company. he is literally talking about using the federal government to enforce a personal vendetta because he can't handle his feelings being hurt. how can any Trump supporter defend this? since he likes to summon people to argue @FLUFFYGERM --- Playing: Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) (~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~) ...

Also, I'm a little disappointed in Proudclad. Aside from that implied insult, he never came back to explain his position on why government meddling in private business is okay in this case.
