Doesn't amzn already dominate this industry too???
good thing that amzn has no competition for it's planned foray to expand into every product known to man ... can someone please explain to me how both this stocks can be bid up to the heavans (ridiculously imho), when one business model (yhoo, ad space, portal cum shop bot and virtual mall) clearly clashes with the other (amzn, commodity seller of 2-4 types of low margin items, operates stand alone shopping retail site with promise (threat?) of running a shop bot which will not be comprehensive or price sensitive (lest it lose saels to competitors), will not be seller but instead a buyer of ad space for a long time to come) ...
william, i'm not tyring to be a smart ass here, but what in the heck am i missing? i must be dense
