I do not believe my question was moronic. My question was to see if anyone on this thread had a clue as to how profitability may occur. Not one person, prior to you, even took a stab at the answer. You are correct! Now, how will margin's improve for AMZN? Are they going to emulate BKS? I'm trying to point out the bullish argument for AMZN and internet commerce or e-retail in general. Far as I can tell the the margin for these companys will be greater since they don't have the liability of Bricks & Mortar. Less personnel cost, no middle man to take cuts etc... Why is everyone losing money now in etail? they are not big enough when AMZN revenue goes to 2billion? like BKS then AMZN should have bigger margins since the cost of doing business is cheaper in the internet, no sales tax, no lease etc... If this reasonable argument of cheaper cost and greater margin for internet companies doesn't pan out this year then it'll happen 2 years from now if not then 5 years, maybe 10 years to be sure. You keep asking where is the margin? But the whole argument for internet commerce has been the margin and no sales tax. I wish you good luck in shorting this stock. I was just baiting you like bateman since there isn't enough longs baiting the shorts like so many other hyped stock. I think longs have gotten fat and lazy. should be easy slaughter in 1-5 years... I hate stocks that go up for NO REASON since it'll be hard to pin point when to go short or long. Only REASON I see is momentum, hype, revenue growth thats driving this stock and internet sector. But I'm a moron, I can't tell when the tide will turn. B/regards
