On July 20, 2017, post-market, Reuters reported that the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") is reviewing allegations that Amazon misleads customers about the Company's pricing discounts.  Specifically, the Reuters article stated, in part, that "[t]he FTC is probing a complaint brought by the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog, which looked at some 1,000 products on Amazon's website in June and found that Amazon put reference prices, or list prices, on about 46 percent of them.  An analysis found that in 61 percent of products with reference prices, Amazon's reference prices were higher than it had sold the same product in the previous 90 days, Consumer Watchdog said in a letter to the FTC dated July 6."  On this news, Amazon's share price fell $3.57, or 0.35%, to close at $1.025.13 on July 21, 2017.
