I always thought it was so bizarre that stock prices often fall even when a company exceeds its previous year. They made over 20% more in sales, yet because it wasn't quite as much as projected, they lose because of it?

Maybe some investors feel that this performance is not sufficient enough for Amazon to announce a dividend. Or maybe it is simply that they just don't believe Amazon is going as strong as they could be and that they can expect a better return by investing somewhere else.
