Yeah, the best part was when Bozos kept vehemently denying that he had said any of the stuff about being an incubator, then when Haines whipped out the transcript, Bozos came back and said, "well, that really doesn't matter if I said it or not..." Sheesh, how embarassing.

And the company's latest marketing expenditure? Catalogs. 10 million of them.

Did he say why only 10 million? They claim 25 million customers which in my opinion is bulsh*t.

Imagine if you will, if 3 years ago Jeff Bezos had come to the capital markets with a catalog company - if he had told Wall Street, "Amazon is a catalog company - and we need about $2 billion to build a bunch of warehouses - oh, and by the way, we also have a web site."

But it was clear all along that amazon was/is nothing but. Here's a message from September 1997 when I already point that out:

Message 2144321

It has taken the street three years to come to the conclusions that Glenn, yours truly and other long term AMZN bears saw from day one.

the honeymoon is over and the public finally see the ugly wrech that many on this board saw from the giddy-up. zitgeist is a powerful phenomenon.
