<< Check "Analysts", you will see "projected earning growth in the next 3 ~ 5 year cycle" = 75% >> Mb, this does not make any sense. If you have looked at any of the amzn filings, you know that Jeff Bezos, the CEO, has stated that currnt growth rates will not continue. If you have not looked at any of the amzn sec filings, I would suggest that you do. The easy growth is behind them. Common sense will tell a person that the amzn revenues will not triple in the next two years, which is where 75% growth gets you. And this ignores the nasty issue of net profits ?!? Victor
