My message was related to the earlier message about someone
like YHOO but not AMZN.
I don't think they are that different. You either like
both, or dislike both.

YHOO sell free information to get as many eyeballs as they can.
Then they turn those eyeballs into money by selling ads.

AMZN sell books and CDs. They should be making money from
those sales, not counting marketing spending. They also get many
eyeballs too. Why they could not turn these eyeballs into money
like YHOO does ?
Let's consider this for a min. If you just have an CD coming out and
you want it to a best seller right away, don't you think it makes
sense to pay AMZN some money to put a banner on AMZN's page
about your CD ?

YHOO didn't sell much ads at the beginning. And they don't make
money right away.

Their business models are not that much different. In fact,
I consider AMZN's is more solid than YHOO's.
What is probably more important are those people who are running the companies.

>>Also, I can't underestimate AMZN if it uses its currency(little salary but plenty of
stocks option which they can cash in at the open market) to pay salaries for its
innovative officers and employees so they can cut its operational expenses to
manipulate its earning.<<

MSFT did these too. And they are the most valuable company
just behind GE. You make me think AMZN is a strong BUY.

good luck,

Tie
