.that Amazon's model is intact, that they will continue to grow, turn profitable with scale, and dominate on-line retailing for
a very long time.


Let's give it time. Let's not debate it. Neither of us have a position.

We shall see. Time will tell. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I am out of phrases LOL.

William,

AMZN could only turn profitable if it were Christmas all year round.

That is the only time when their retailing model based on the shipping of an infinite number of commodity type goods around the country makes sense.

The music stops when investors loose faith and refuse to further finance growth, a la Boston Chicken.

William, your dry, sardonic, yet caustic, sense of humor is such a welcome relief to the otherwise serious intensity that is the norm around here!

Thanks again!
