<<AMZN is a loser. Its backers are losers.>>

What do you mean by this? Would this include Kleiner Perkins, since they are the largest venture capital backers of AMZN?

Could you explain why Kleiner Perkins are losers? They only did the startup financing for Sun Microsystems, Tandem computers, Compaq, Lotus, Excite, Netscape, AMZN, Rambus, silicon Graphics, to name a few off the top of my head. You can check out their webpage for a list of the 200 or so companies they have backed.

Please explain to the thread why you think Kleiner Perkins are losers.
And maybe address L. John Doerr, an ardent supporter of AMZN. I guess he must be a loser too, although C-NET voted him the third most powerful person in world in multimedia, after Gates and Grove. I suppose he failed to be #1 or #2 in the world, so he is a loser.
