Is Amazon's stategy now to become the modern-day "Sears and Roebuck" catalog of the web? If you follow this analogy, the only real advantage they have over Sears is their catalog can be updated instantly. But can't Sears/WalMart/Kmart put their catalogs on the Web too, and what is the barrier to entry to keep Sears/WalMart/Kmart or any existing, profitable business from doing that? Waldeen All three are already on the net and offer far more products than AMZN. The books and videos at Walmart are far cheaper than AMZN. I did not compare music. I cannot compare the thousands of other items Walmart has on their site to AMZN because AMZN does not have these items. I just don't get these net stock valuations..... waiting to order my next Maytag washing machine from Amazon, I do not get it either. Glenn
