From the 10-Q:

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and as of September 30, 1998,
had an accumulated deficit of $115.6 million.

No matter. After today's fun Amazon is now worth (fully diluted) more than the following
companies:

McGraw-Hill Inc (I found this particularly ironic.)
Estee Lauder Inc
Northern Trust Corp
Quaker Oats Co
Federated Department Stores Inc
Gateway 2000 Inc
Portugal Telecom SA
Providian Financial Corp
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co
Unocal Corp
Republic Industries Inc
CNA Financial Corp

And today's gain in (fully diluted) market capitalization for Amazon exceeds the individual market
capitalizations of the following corporations:

Pier 1 Imports Inc
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc
Fresh Del Monte Produce
Infoseek Corp
Polaroid Corp
Fruit of the Loom Inc
Federal Signal Corp
Pep Boys
Whole Foods Market Inc
Linens 'N Things Inc
Tupperware Corp
RealNetworks Inc
Papa Johns International
Briggs & Stratton Corp
Western Digital Corp
Borg-Warner
Bethlehem Steel Corp
Neiman Marcus Group
Maxtor Corp
Compusa Inc
GeoCities
Airborne Freight Corp

What bubble?

Sony Discman with Electronic Shock Protection (D-E301)

Amazon.con: $95.96
Shopping.com: $64.94

(but you get "free" bateries at AMZN)

Cheers!

Bateman, don't take the Lord's name in vain. Sometimes you're funny, and sometimes you're not. "GRIM, dippin' again, takin' the dip du jour". Now that was funny.
