Hi Glenn; I think AMZN can continue to expand into all kinds of mail-order merchandising simply by taking advantage of all that expensive bricks and mortar that the established retailers have. I, for one, am sick of having to go down to the convenience store in order to buy ice for the Fourth of July. It would be much more convenient for me to simply order it by mail, and then have the US postal service deliver to my door step using surface postage. The same with all kinds of things like milk, bread, etc. Heck AMZN could put thousands of small-time newspaper deliverers out of business simply by having UPS send me my local newspaper. I could get Barron's from AMZN and then could read it on Wednesday or Thursday of the week it was published, thereby being able to better understand why certain stocks ran up on Monday. Hey! The future's so bright, I have to wear shades! -- Carl
