I am bothered by the fact that the investment community groups AMZN into the "internet stock" category. I understand the business model of AOL and all the search engines. In either case, the fact does remain that AMZN is grouped with those stocks.<< I think the mistake many of you are making is that you are comparing Amzn to traditional brick and mortar sellers of merchandise, i.e. Bks, who have stuck a shingle up on the web. This doesn't make them a web based internet co. More like a hybrid type of internet seller. Amzn is in a category with Onsl, E*trade, Ptvl,Yhoo, etc. who are selling merchandise and services strictly through the web.
