How did I twist your words?

What was your intent in calling AMZN and its backers losers--did you mean just some of them or all of the backers? You confirm your opinion that the companies I listed are "a list of losers". Is every person except Bill Gates a "loser" in your assessment, and every company except Microsoft a "loser"?

Is my investment in AMZN, currently up over 600% in a little over a year a "losing investment" by your standards?

Bears criticized, degraded, and ripped AMZN to shreds on this thread in early '98, when it had a presplit value of $50 to 60 per share. Now, post corrrection, it has a presplit value of around $150 per share. And, oh yeah, it is a "loser" by your standards.

Well, maybe you are right. Maybe what is generally regarded as the best venture capital firm in the world is actually a "loser", and maybe AMZN is a loser. I just wish all my investments were losers like this one.
