Not exactly. Right now, they lose ("loooosssee") money acquiring customers. The more items a single customer buys, the better.

Amazon and Wall Street believe that they will hit an inflection point, afterwhich scale/leverage will kick in, in a big way. It's the same story as AOL a few years ago. The strategy is called "Get Big Fast," you would do yourself a big favor if you learned more about it.

Of course, many companies have tried "Get Big Fast" and failed. Amazon has already come a long long way, however, and if they continue to execute well they'll beat the odds. A primary factor that venture capital and Wall Street buy into is managment; Amazon has assembled a terrific management team. Terrific.
