>> i got a kick out of your analogy of comparing selling books online through Amzn to selling chickens through some third rate, fast food joint << Mark , obviously the analogy was to the extreme market overvaluation of a faddish , commodity business that was a new concept. Boston Chicken is not third-rate , as you know. Their product is very good , actually. The problem is they don't make any money selling it , and the equity is worthless. It was a super-hot stock that was highly touted by the promoters, underwriters , etc. Too bad it lost over 90% of its value in 18 months. Of course, that could never happen to an internet stock....no way.
