Another Amazon.com (AMZN) earnings call, more unimpressive guidance<\/a> (this time, Q1 guidance for $15.0 to 16.6B revenue below expectations and for operating income -$285 to 65M around expectations), an immediate plunge in after-hours trading (this time, to $250), a rapid recovery, and a strong open the next day.
