I used automatic summarization to try to reduce the article to a pithy tweet and ended up with:

"Fuck, I don't know. And what's with Bezos investing in BusinessInsider? And what is Amazon's business plan anyway? And why does Apple's stock keep dropping whenever it gains market share?"

For peanuts they more or less buy good coverage in a widely read news site. A certain VC fund also invested in them and PandoDaily. It's a great investment, even if Business Insider goes kaput 2 years from now.
