I guess now Wall Street will ask, how much revenue can Amzn get by going global. Who and how will Amzn finance these soon to be built/bought distribution centers??

I thought the big advantage of the AMZN business model was carrying almost no inventory and thus, a fast turnover of assets. The lack of expense of brick and mortar buildings, etc. Glenn
