Amazon is stressed

Amazon.com showed a slowdown in sales growth over the holiday season, disappointing Wall Street and warning inflation-afraid consumers and businesses with less money to spend.

Amazon shares fell sharply after the earnings report, losing almost 10%. This drop in Amazon's stock price in extended trading has wiped out its market capitalization by about $140 billion. It’s more than the combined value of companies like Morgan Stanley, Netflix, and Lockheed Martin.
