you never fail to amaze ... you must be getting desparate -- just take your earnings and pocket it -- if you must gamble more on amzn based on spurious speculation that company with limited brand name recognition based almost solely on books (and modestly on music) will become a pharmaceuticals juggernaut, than get off the hallucinogenic drugs my friend -- the silliness of this argument is impressive ...

amzn is a book category killer
no wait
it's a music juggernaut
no wait
videos too
no wait -- none of those things have decent margins, so it's a
shop bot
no wait -- that just helps destroy the margins of the commodities we sell (not to michelle, SELL, as in resell, as in do not manufacture and add next to NO value)

how about, um errrrrrrr
gifts -- we'll just pick a random smattering with no rhyme or reason

that seems half-assed
how about, um errrrr
prescriptions, since all the real world pharmacy juggernauts don't have any brand name that we, a bookseller, cannot overcome

ok kids -- try this one on for size --

amzn -- great idea, motivated and focused founder who simply over-reached -- giant dumb ass move by not selling out to bertelesmann when he could have and now flailing about like a chicken without its head to do the impossible -- justify a stock price that rates up there with the all time idiotic speculative manias --
