Sunday, March 24, 2:46 PM By a 75-24 margin, the Senate has passed a non-binding vote of approval for a bill allowing states to collect sales taxes from online retailers with $1M+ in annual sales and no presence within a given state's borders. The margin of victory suggests a filibuster shouldn't be a problem when a binding vote is made. Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY) have already begun collecting in a number of large states, and many investors have already assumed collections will expand in time.

Friday, February 15, 10:40 AM Democrats and the GOP are working together on a bill in Congress to resolve the online sales tax issue. The latest iteration of the bill looks likely to be finalized and sent to President Obama's desk this year. With online sales now repping more than 5% of all of retail sales, states will bring in significant revenue while larger Internet-based retailers will lose some pricing power. Though Amazon (AMZN -1.4%) is the obvious target to take a hit - that expectation could already be baked into its share price - and it could be smaller Internet shops such as Blue Nile (NILE +1.2%) or Overstock.com (OSTK +0.2%) which feel the pain. 4 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
Wednesday, February 13, 7:30 AM RBC Capital weighs in on Blue Nile (NILE) following the retailer's disappointing Q4 report. The firm keeps an Outperform rating in place as it notes the online seller added new customers at an 18% clip but pulls back the reigns on its price target to $38 from $48. NILE -4.1% premarket.

Monday, November 26, 2012, 1:34 PM Blue Nile (NILE -1.5%) CEO Harvey Kanter extolls the online retailer's future on Squawk on the Street (video) with his belief the price differential between the 150K diamonds being sold on the company's site and the gems from brick-and-mortar rivals will keep sales churning. A key for the company to boost profits is to start to see marketing expenditures pay off, especially with women. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, November 1, 2012, 5:41 PM Blue Nile (NILE): Q3 EPS of $0.14 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $89.8M (+19.8% Y/Y) in-line. Shares -1.5% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Friday, August 31, 2012, 9:13 AM State tax collectors in California plan to ramp up efforts to force Internet businesses to collect sales tax by hiring new auditors and lawyers to get the point across. Though big fish Amazon has already been reeled in, companies such as Overstock.com (OSTK) and Blue Nile (NILE) are swimming around unfettered at the moment. 2 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, August 27, 2012, 3:48 PM Shares of Zale (ZLC +2.7%) and Blue Nile (NILE +2.5%) get a lift from Tiffany's Q2 results. It's a bit of a curious move as the company's report didn't paint a particularly pretty picture of the sector. On top of that, TIF's jump could be influenced by shorts taking profits off the table as visibility has cleared on the name. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Friday, August 3, 2012, 8:59 AM Shares of Blue Nile (NILE) skyrocket 27.1% premarket after the company beat estimates with its Q2 report. The company's full-year guidance of $0.70-$0.85 came in over the consensus mark of analysts and brings up the question if the company is catching jewelry buyers trading down from higher-priced brick-and-mortar sellers such as SIG, TIF and ZLC.

Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 10:45 AM Blue Nile (NILE +3.1%) launches a Japanese-language version of its website that will allow customers in Japan to buy online for the first time in their own language.
