>? I thought AMZN was going to grow sales by 50% / year for the next ten years? I never said that. It was probably Billy.

<<The quarterly results revealed a sharply slower rate of growth for Amazon's US books, music and video segment - its longest-established business. Its sales grew by just 11 per cent to $512m, while international sales rose by 104 per cent to $145m. >> Are you sure that's right? I thought AMZN was going to grow sales by 50% / year for the next ten years? Victor, This is not exactly correct. Maybe it is if one wishes to look at the best scenario. There was likely a 25% growth in the sales of videos due to the number of DVD players sold. I suspect, although cannot prove, US book sales (the longest-established business) declined in the US. That would not be a good indicator of things to come.
