William: It seems AMZN et al's 'profits' ride on margins -- 1% versus much more. So, if I read you correctly, you imply a number of advantages which could yield profit margins rarely if ever seen in retailing: first mover advantages, scale advantages in technology, logistics, advertising and brand recognition along with superior cash management, etc. -- yes? That, combined with rapid growth and global market potential is a compelling reason to invest -- yes?
