>>Bezos was in the right place at the right time to get rich. That is not talent. It is luck. That is ridiculous, Glenn. No one has his track record building an etailer. If it were luck, he'd be an also-ran. There are plenty of online businesses that were there at "the right time". I think it's time for you to get off the "Besos knows nothing about retailing" theme you've persued so long. It's evident that he knows plenty, and it's clear that many others want to do business under the Amazon umbrella. He built a scalable, billion dollar business in two years. He knows the Achilles' heal of brick-and-mortar retailing, too. You know the profound implications of this, you just won't admit them. You also criticize him for being secretive. When he's playing poker with the smartest minds in retailing and etailing, I don't expect him to be playing his cards face-up.
