<With other etailers dying out, I do not think people are going offline. They will park their eye balls in remainder of the etail shops (i.e Amazon). > The problem is that amzn is saddled with all these product lines that are not best suited for online retailing, imo. as glenn recently pointed out, who's going to buy a 3k gas range online without even setting eyes on it directly? not very likely. that kind of stuff is very expensive inventory. i will grant amzn its book biz. i've complained about their fulfillment before, but i'm still buying..... buying commodities online is convenient and economically efficient. makes sense to me!

You are forgetting that a company might reach a point of no return no matter how valuable their core business are. To illustrate with an example, if I contract debt for more than I will ever earn if I worked from today until the last day of my life, I have reached a point of no return and the only way out is bankruptcy. There are some here who believe Amazon has reached that point, personally I believe they are getting closer to it by the minute, but I still think they can avoid bankruptcy through massive stock dilution.

There is nothing wrong with AMZN that a room full of bankruptcy lawyers can't solve. BTW, selling stuff online will fall into one of five categories -- 1. Build to order; 2. Digital products; 3. Bricks and clicks; 4. On-line catalog sales, and; 5. Auctions. AMZN has none of the above worth mentioning. AMZN has nothing. They are a money pit and the lawyers will be the only ones from here on in who will make any money off of this totally irrelevant company.
