No, I am not freaking out about the year-end departure of Warren Jenson, the fantastic CFO of Amazon (AMZN - commentary - Cramer's Take). Sure, I don't want him to leave. But he isn't leaving now. And he isn't leaving before the job of getting Amazon in financial shape is finished.
I consider it a job well done. This man likes challenge. He is a fantastic CFO. He needs a new task, though. He is one of those guys who can now write his own ticket because he accomplished the impossible: He got a company that everyone said would never be profitable to make a profit.
In fact, I think the fact that he is going graciously and over time, after the crucial Christmas season, is fantastic for Amazon. I continue to think that this stock, after it does some refinancing, will be a very big stock for the next year or two.
Bears never want to hear that. But when it comes to Amazon, I think the bears will soon be an endangered species.
