Hey, if you want to create "voodoo valuations" based on your own methods, then go ahead. What you are suggestion is not only unusual but pretty stupid IMO. See you on the other side to compare notes champ.

Is Barnes and Noble Microsoft? Since B&N's sales are 10 times that of amazon's then yes, B&N is a Microsoft compared to Amazon. Let me ask you, where is Amzn going to get more cash for advertising and marketing expenses once they burn through the $140 million that they have? Eventually they have to start actually showing a profit in order to have $$$ to spend. Sure they can do a secondary, and probably will. They'll need it. After all, B&N is actually making money off their 10 times sales volume. Amazon's sales are 1/10 what B&N's are and the Amazing.com still loses money. hardy har har har!
