Every product that KTEL sells can be bought on AMZN or HAST. KTEL makes CDs to order and has its own private catalogs of music. Hence, you are plain wrong here. These companies have other products and themes that will always outway the one niche players. AMZN was a niche player less than six months ago. Amazon has less brand recognition than K-tel among the general public. K-tel has been around many more years... and on TV. Have you seen any Amazon.com commercials on TV? Maybe it is not a dog but it is not one to hold for 10 years. Bought on the rumor, sold on the news. See ya back at 6. Perhaps. I've no idea what the short term trend will be. Just be sure you realize that AMZN is but 12 keystrokes and one touch of the enter key away from KTEL... not a very large distance to drive your car. But in capitalization, they are miles apart. I'm not a straight momentum player. I believe in the egalitarian nature of the Internet. This means AMZN will come down from its absurd levels eventually, and stocks like KTEL will rise up, until some reasonable equillibrium is achieved.
