Ok, Ok, I've got it. The way to multiply amzn's market cap. Ready? Here it is. Remember, we've discounted profits until 2010, so (rubbing his hands) here goes:
Issue 200 million amzn credit cards to everyone in the US. (Not the world yet. That comes later.). That's it.
I just discovered that with the current market cap to sales ratio, you can carry everybody's debt, and start your selling-everything-to-everybody campaign in earnest. You have just created $1 t in new financing.
Don't think it'll sell? Try this: No credit check. Buy whatever you want. Get the bills, pay them or not. Here's the secret: even if you believe the honor system would triple the bad debt ratio of everyone in the country, the growth of debt doesn't exceed the ability of amzn to absorb that plus interest to 2010, if they deduct advertising expense and add normal trx fees. I know, because I calculated this entire economic model on the back of this napkin right here.
It'll all be tracked, and your account w. carry w. interest, and be part of the overall debt of amzn. Amzn books interest and fees on every transaction. (Some of the vendors might even take stock as the new cybernetic-supermoney scrip that just goes up in value.) The biggest financial engineering of all time works out that 200 million people can charge $1,000 a year, boost sales volume to $200 bln, mkt cap to $1 T, only 2% of which is questionable debt. This is better than a Ponzi scheme because it's legal, and it doesn't matter what the default rate is because you monatize that.
Better still, let people buy amzn stock on their amzn credit card! o my god, i'm sorry i said that. my napkin just blew up.
You get everyone in the system, at a PE of a zillion, ability to monatize deadbeats, no advertising costs because it'll take off like a fire in a kerosene plant.
You see? You don't just monatize clicks anymore. You monatize the people themselves! Everything they do! The new meta-cyber-financial world power accelerates US growth by 2% all by itself and becomes the first $1 t company!
So that's how you increase the stock beyond it's present value.
I think I need my medication now. I'm starting to realize it will actually work.
Message for Jim Bezos: just give me 1/10 of 1% for the idea and I'll set it up for you. |
