Oh I've followed Amazon the stock for quite some time, too. I'm mostly cynical about the company and the stock, but they have built up some kind of customer base. The trouble I have with that is that K-Mart also has a reliable customer base. Conner Peripherals was once, in the not very distant past, the company that had grown sales faster than any company in history. They built hard disk drives for PCs. So, fast sales growth in the early years doesn't mean the company will still be around to keep growing year after year. As I recall, it was either Seagate or Western Digital that bought out Conner. The only reason I would buy AMZN would be for the pre-Christmas run-up. However, there is no certainty that will happen, either.
