Under the agreement with Drugstore.com, Amazon.com receives $105 million under a 3 year marketing agreement. Amazon.com agreed to invest $30 million in Drugstore.com, raising its stake in the company to 28%. Customers will eventually use a single shopping basket and procedure for both sites. Previously Amazon.com only carried gift certificates and had temporary links for Drugstore.com. With Greenlight.com, Amazon.com gets $85 million plus warrants to raise its stake to 30% during the next five years. I know I dwell on this but where is DCSM going to get the money? They do not have it now and lost $40 million last quarter. Where is Greenlight.com going to get the money? I may sell a few very large diamonds to people without the money today and no known way to raise it but will get a signed contract they will pay me over the next five years. Then go to the bank and say look at these revenues would you please increase my line of credit? I am certain they will say yes<G> This and the analysts are nuts.
