Thanks for the interesting article on AMZN -- if they could erase the costly mistakes and start fresh then perhaps they could make a go of it -- but then that is what bankruptcy is for -- yes?

So what's to stop Amazon.com, the Internet's most recognized brand, from reversing this trend and leveraging its name to open brick-and-mortar stores of its own? So what's holding Amazon back? Simple -- it's money, honey. Not quite correct. Many malls have non-competing agreements built in, quite often this includes at most one bookstore per mall, and at most one/two jewelers per mall... but wait a minute, you might say, almost any mall has more than one jeweler. True, but all of them belong to the same national chain.... Who typically owns the bookstores in a mall? Either Barnes and Noble or Borders....

[Amazon] were to do it, it would be best to partner with an existing organization or a failing organization that needs the strong brand Amazon has to offer," Labatt said. "They may have already started down that path by partnering with Toys 'R' Us. Toys 'R' Us could carve out a 1,000-foot area in its store to act as an Amazon pick-up and return center." << Glenn maybe Jeff should go out a partner with more businesses in the real world. Glenn Let's look for an absolute bottom on Arba close to 15 1/4 however 22 1/8 is a potential support area for tomorrow could hold there, so if you are looking to add i think good area.
