With all that human effort and market efficiency, why isn't Amazon getting shorted like crazy, based on ratio trends like this...?

My understanding is that Amazon's management believes that they can "flip a switch" and stop expansion and R&D, making them suddenly ludicrously profitable. Investors are fine with that because the longer management holds off on flipping the switch, the higher the eventual eps will be.
