I sold my AMZN stock back at $80 - today we see it's lost 50% of it's value. How do we expect the company to perform over the next year?

Last Christmas Amazon did extremely well, despite predictions to the contrary. This year the bet is on whether Amazon will be dragged down because of overall less spending, or if more people will turn to the site looking for bargains.

Amazon's emphasis over the past year and for the next is on expansion Internationally.New stores in the existing countries (UK, DE, FR and JP), new sites in Europe and a new global fulfillment network that should improve delivery to countries that formerly had to pay heavy shipping costs for limited shipping options.

Expect this growth to have a big impact, as the international sites make up 50% of Amazon's revenue.
