we feel Amazon‚s business model is evolving from that of a pure-play eTailer of books, etc.. to future shopping portal, where we believe leverage and scalability really starts to drive a superior business model with multiple high margin revenue opportunities. What in particular? I guess this means things like the big idea of being the portal for thousands of other retailers & suppliers that won't want their own. I can see the fantasy of numbers. But I can't see why that isn't vulnerable to competition from all of the credit card, bank, and large retailers that have larger databases of customer transactions. AMZN has a lot of sound and fury, but still doesn't signify much that other better-financed co's can't do, once they see what actually makes a profit. Anybody know what these "high margin" opportunities supposedly are?
