Tech stock news: one up and one down

Wow what a couple of days for two particular tech stocks that I follow.  Amazon.com, the great online retailer, reported that their net profit is up 250% when compared to the same quarter last year.  WOW!  I’m a firm believer in Amazon’s business model and I use their services as often as possible.  Check ‘em out - their symbol is AMZN.

On the flip side, another tech firm I’m a customer of, Netflix reported some not-so-good news yesterday.  For the first time in the companies’ history, they had a loss in the number of subscribers.  They are facing some competition from Blockbuster.  However, BB has a huge overhead to account for and Netflix is known for their operational excellence.  I agree with the market that Netflix is in a but of a rut right now, but Reed Hastings will see them out of it.  For your reference, their ticker symbol is NFLX.
