>>AMZN will never, ever show a profit.

yah yah yah, and the pro-forma net losses are aggressive accounting and the price/book is high blah blah blah.

your opinion is your opinion but investors don't care about such garbage speculation. They are profitable on books right now and have been for awhile, bro'.

>>Comparing AMZN to AOL is laughable.

both spend aggressively to build mass and both are visionaries amidst a world of business-as-usual risk-averse doubters. both have volatile stocks and lots of shorts based on speed bumps along the way to putting up big revenue growth and all the doubters watch as they create $100 billion+ in shareholder value.

>>99.99% of them will never convert to a sale.

you need a refresher course on your math. The one thing AMZN is adding is customers.
