William,re:"brand name..". I think established store (brandname) has
advantange on their locations. While pure Web-base store has
all the other advantage (low cost structure, convenience/virtual
locations).
Since I live in big city, it would be nice for me to 'Shop ont
the Web', check availabiliy, price... and just PICK IT UP down the
road, no shipping and handling. Also, return is as easy as before
while the shopping is much better.
There was a $2 stock (retailer) on American exchange yesterday,
mentioned that it has intention to sell on the WEB, the stock rised
800%+. AMaZiNg, eh.
There will be winners(count with one hand) and losers. I believe
AMZN, AOL, YHOO, CSCO, LU, TXN, SUNW, DELL, CPQ, MSFT are the sure
winners on this 'web-trend', (THE KILLER APPL). Maybe a couple of
Jewels as EBAY kind hidden among the sands.
I haven't owned any web-stock yet, the one came close to me were:
AMZN, AOL (in that order, timeline). But correction should come
early next year. |
