Are you starting to feel Bezos is becoming surrounded? James, when Bezos feels "surrounded", he sells 180K amzn shares. I am sure that he would like to sell more of it, only he knows that everybody is watching!

Are you starting to feel Bezos is becoming surrounded? I wonder how Custer felt, just before the arrow? I know! They killed him, and Bezos walks away a billionaire. He who walks away, lives to hedge another day James, Bezos will walk away a billionaire. This is the beginning of the end. It lasted longer than I had anticipated. The share dilution will make a secondary not work when it is needed and as you stated, the competent competition is just starting. I believe they were wise enough to wait until e-commerce had enough market share. Why waste advertising dollars on such a small audience. The first to market "advantage" as touted by the holy Mary Meeker means nothing in retail. Glenn
