Jeff, 200 billion is more than Wal*Mart sales now! Amazon.com no way IMO in 5 years, maybe 10 or 15 but will not bet on that either! Hank

Maybe this is possible. Do you think this is possible? It would be a miracle performance in the face of stiff competition from hundreds of well funded companies. 190% year after year? I know nada so not sure if that would be possible but if it does happen, I do know that I'd be shocked and grateful!

Very enjoyable post. Thanks for bringing back the memorable (and unusual) face off between two Wall Street analysts. That was really something. My guess is the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. Jeff, IMO, the market always right...:) Let's wait what the market will value AMZN in the next two weeks. My prediction is AMZN will go up around $170-$200. I would like to agree with this analysis because it seems really sound and maybe possible and I usually can't find people who will give a long term analysis... and you might be right... one thought though... In the last year, Amazon.com reported revenue of about $1 billion dollars. How does Amazon.com generate $200 billion revenue per year 4 or 5 years from now? If Amazon.com's revenue growth is 100% per year for the next 5 years, then Amazon.com will only have $32 billion in annual revenue 5 years from now. But amazingly enough, in 7 3/4 years at 100% growth per year, Amazon.com could reach $200 billion in annual revenue. To get to $200 billion revenue in 5 years, Amazon.com will need to increase revenue 190% per year. Maybe this is possible. Do you think this is possible? It would be a miracle performance in the face of stiff competition from hundreds of well funded companies. Yes, for me its really possible. Without toys and electronics' stores, maybe it'll hard. Will Amazon stop to open new stores in the future? I bet not....:) So, 190% increase in revenue will not hard for Amazon.com.....:) MM
