Good article. That's right, investors shouldn't be worried by a 50% drop from here. That is just more of a reason to buy at any price. The logic is irrefutable. Buy now and buy often and wait five to ten years and you'll be rich. Only cowards would sell the stock now. Go Amazon.com!!!

That's a great article, but what did they say? The Fools are going to hold AMZN for long term growth although it could easily stay flat, or fall to 50% of its value over the next 3 years. They're comparing AMZN to AOL and DELL, as a core holding, but I'm having trouble with that analogy. I'd like to hear what people have to say on this comparison. My take, is that the average sales price of Dell's product is a heck of a lot higher, and the sales channel more concentrated. On AOL, they bought the market early, and still provide the easiest to use, flat-rate access to the internet - and I think their revenue per customer is higher than Amazon, and their support cost per customer in terms of delivered product is a lot lower (no physical goods have to be shipped). the article: fnews.yahoo.com
