gdr, buffet put it most succinctly - there has never been a better time in history to monetize
investor ignorance.


I missed him saying that but I agree.

however, i did take and understand econ 101 - a feat that the markets continually show is
quite rare.


This is for sure. One I am still trying to come to grips with is not placing fulfillment costs in the cost of goods sold. That is a key retail metric and I believe if that is done in Amazon's case, gross margin are zero or possibly negative.

My accountant would never pass an audit on my firm if I did not place fuflillment in COGS. The bank would not accept the statement for basing a line of credit, etc.
