>>but why do you need to use stupid and thoughtless analogies.<<
I don't believe they're thoughtless, but you might be right on stupid.
Hitler and Bezos really do have some things in common.
They both had a wonderful propaganda machine.
They both had incurred substantial losses.
They both had a fanatical following.
They both were a secret, and no one knew, what went on between closed door's.
Like Helen Chung of the Seattle Times told me. She tried to go to their shareholders
meeting, but was told "No media allowed".


James,

I am Jewish and my wife and I disgused this last summer. We made the comparison to Hitler. We used the same facts as have you. There are a lot of similarities except the punishment ends up being financial disater rather than death. No public company should exclude the media from a conference call. The spin is always different by analysts. I use this comparison only with Bezos and Amazon,. Not the other internet companys that have decent CEOs.

This is from an interview yesterday with Bezo and David Gardner of The Motley Fools:

"Gardner: Is there a way that we can put this in an industry that we can understand?

Bezos: That's a great question and I hope that one of our objectives right here is to make that very difficult for people, because I think one of the metrics of our success long term will be to the degree to which we're able to defy easy analogy."

Let's word this another way. "ie. the metric of my success is how long i can bs the world into buying my stock at outrageous valuations!"

I placed it in quoted because that was not my comment.
