Andeverson:

Thanks for the clamly toned reply to my testy (though that was not a flame from me -- trust me, you'll know it when you see it) post. Again, if you are right and this almighty AMZN brand name exists, did Bezos sound like someone who agrees with you and was going to expand beyond videos, music and books? Executive bandwith limitations? European market (in which amzn just made a huge investment) is 3-4 years behind US in internet use. Uh, ever hear of bertelesman, bks, and bgp? 3-4 years is a lot of time to give deep pocketed experienced if slower moving companies to catch up and crush the little guy. And ifhte majority of people in the US and Europe have yet to go online let alone shop let alone hear of, browse or buy at amzn, what % of the future market does amzn have this brand name with?

Looking forward to your reply.

>>I feel like I'm repeating myself but AMZN is a brand name. Sort of like Walmart or Barney's.

Barney's? The purple dinosaur is in e-tail now? Now that's a brand with value!

So now you say that you listened to the conference call that was not recorded? Bull. Speculator!
