Amazon has 12% of current US web-users as customers. There's plenty of growth ahead.

William,

The missing information which Amazon will not state is how many are active customers? They add customers once a person makes one purchase. That person could have been dead for the last year and is still a customer the way Amazon reports. Others may never have returned to Amazon. I am one as an example and my wife is two. Amazon still counts us. What do you believe is the percentage of error in using the 12% number?

Glenn

William, you just don't get it. For the last several months you have been comparing Amazn.com to Dell, Msft, Csco, Ge, Ibm, Hwp, etc,etc. This will be your worst investment ever. unless you decide to retreat like Custer didn't.
Trust me.
