LWolf, can you explain to me how this co will remain solvent 4 or 5 more years, until it reaches profitability? Victor

AMZN has a foothold...this I will grant you...but I don't see their niche being anything special....The problem with "brand building" is that it is so fleeting unless you have and maintain a niche...What will make them special? How do they continue to outcompete Walmart and Barnes & Bertlesman (sic)....now that AMZN is on their radar screen? Maybe it can happen, but I don't see it....What I do see is a company feeding on itself...hence a negative book value....(and, no, I don't count goodwill...) "Don't fight the tape" is the only argument I can't overcome....but in good time, and, just maybe,...soon......! Mike
