thanks...very interesting. i've been considering the stock...it seems to have a better chance to survive than AMZN. it is often surprising who emerges as the winner in a new industry...and it's usually NOT the first player entering the field.


The first player in the field in retail never matters. It always revolves around execution meaning service, selection, pricing, marketing, buying, etc. Retail is very fluid and a strong player can get slaughtered in no time by a new entry. I could give tons of examples of this and it matters not if it is on-line or off-line.
