Will someone here care to explain why Amazon is worth even 5 billion dollars? Bearded One, I haven't seen you on this thread before so pardon me if I am stating the obvious.... the value proposition with Amazon and Dell is that they apply tremendous automation resources to their supply chain and eventually squeeze everybody else out of business 1/2% savings on cos at a time. Eventually it becomes too expensive for anybody else to compete, niche players are eliminated etc. and they own the market. Low profit margin goods are a critical part of the equation, the fact that incremental savings to the bottom line (which is what you get with technology) can make an overall difference, etc. I don't know what amzn is worth at this point, on a relative scale certainly more than $5 bill. as you attest, depending on how far along they are with their infrastructure. But they need to grow into their current mkt cap I agree. Michelle
