It would be stupidity on part management and major investment houses to see this company bleed to oblivion and I am sure someone will step upto the plate to change the current course. One would expect that, yet companies like Novell and Corel drifted for a long long time before anyone stepped up to the plate. By the time somebody did it was too late. Considering that Bezos is still the majority owner of AMZN how likely is it that he will get the boot?

<It would be stupidity on part management and major investment houses to see this company bleed to oblivion and I am sure someone will step upto the plate to change the current course.> the big prob as i see it is a company with 6 enormous distro centers stuffed with stuff they can't sell, or at least not at all profitably. no amount of wishful thinking or courageous action on the part of jeff bezos or even john doerr is going to change that fact.....

Any bankruptcy will wipe out your invenetment. The distribution centers are all leased and their cost exceeds the gross margins Amazon can command. Your comment about attrition of customers is typically high for online sites is accurate. This attrition is one of the reasons there are only two remaining pure play B2C e-commerce sites remaining. They are Amazon and Buy. Both will fold due to the above. It being the norm is the root of the problem among others. There is little else I can say. Glenn
