<<You haven't figured in rev growth from electronics and toys, let alone auctions>>

It is a given that you can expand revenues if you enter a bunch of new markets. What is important is how they are growing the more established market of books and music. Do you believe the electronics and toy markets will be more profitable to AMZN? Or do you think that is relevant?

We all know about businesses that have folded because they expanded too fast. AMZN is is entering new markets as fast as possible so they can show "growth." But that doesn't do much good if all they do are merely grow losses at an increasingly rapid rate.
