What exactly is the rationale that dictates that increasing sales implies losses?

That law didn't seem to hold for Wal-Mart.

Large new distribution centers that are underutilized? Sounds like a fixed cost business to me, which makes it hellishly hard to manage.

Low margins because of low volumes? Amazon is effectively one or two stores that rack up billions in sales annually. Can't tell me they're suffering from low volumes.

Life sure is interesting.

What the hell is she talking about? Things haven't changed!
Bezos has never had a clue about profitability, and probably never will.
Glenn you where right all along. Unfortunately you haven't made as much money as the Amzn
insiders, the financial institutions, or the 98,99 Amzn retail bulls that rode this scam!


HJ,

What can I say about timing and cutting losses?

Tomorrow I need to reposition as you are doing for some cyclicals. If you have a moment for s few choices, could make smaller list comapred to your B2B list. I don't need that many LOL.
