When will it all end ? Looking at two companies primarily in the book biz....AMZN and BGP. Borders has 6x AMZN sales but less than 10% of the market cap of AMZN, so a dollar of sales at AMZN is worth 67 times a dollar of sales at BGP...both in the same business (a business that has been flat to declining for years) and BGP has a growing web site and making a big move into Europe. Borders, of course, has infinitely more real assets providing much higher barriers to entry. Utter insanity. John
