> Who on this thread thinks AMZN has a short-sighted business plan considering Bezos changes AMZN's business plan every few months as each biz plan is proven to be a failure, i think your question is invalid. AMZN's biz plans may have grandeous visions, but they've all been scrapped shortly after birth. unless you consider making sure the insiders make as much money possible a valid biz plan.. thats a whole 'nother question.
