>>On the other side of the coin, there appears to be almost no growth in the US. << It appears that a lot of US retailers are experiencing the same. Look at what they did to former Wall Street darling Best Buy (BBY) last week. Btw I you should find this article about this German retailer interesting. I don't think their business model would work in the USA though. What do you think? >>The formula has earned the third largest business fortune in the world for the Albrecht brothers. Forbes magazine this year put their wealth at $26.8 billion – behind investor Warren Buffett and Microsoft's Bill Gates.<< signonsandiego.com

Glenn, have ever thought about opening a store in Silicon valley? >>MENLO PARK, Calif. -- No place was as emulated in the '90s as the gold-paved way between San Francisco and San Jose, which gave birth to what venture capitalist John Doerr called the greatest legal creation of wealth in history.<< >>As improbable as it might seem, that sort of high-level guidance worked a decade ago, when Joint Venture asked for help in funding pilot Internet projects. One of those projects hired Marc Andreessen, who soon after co-founded Netscape Communications Corp. Backed by Doerr's venture capital firm, Netscape's initial public offering in 1995 ignited the Net boom.<< latimes.com
