Problem is there can't be one Gorilla. Somebody convince me otherwise. It's utter nonsense. Internet is open. In fact I think that there is less of an economic barrier than presented in other mediums. That's what so silly about what's happening. Can you say NSCP? Can you say IOM? No, I don't know when, but I do know what. Nice to get on at the ground floor of these manias. Wish I had.

HJM- << Wall Streets conviction that given enough time Amzn will be the Gorilla of Internet commerce.>> What if, say, Wal-mart decided to get serious about internet commerce. They can sell books , CD's, t-shirts, khaki dockers, cosmetics tires--whatever the yuppie might want. They open Son of Sam's Online Emporium and undercut Amazon and everyone else. I think they have the capital and staying power to buy plenty of market share. Amazon is a loud little howler monkey and there are a lot of big gorillas coming over to see what the noise is all about.
