Ha, Ha, Ha . . . very funny. So you know how to make jokes. Here is one: "And some investors compare Amazon to Dell. Dell with a brilliant tract record for sales and earnings growth compared to Amazon with a tract record of widening losses and lowering margins. See, the two are nearly identical and since we know that, let's go ahead and assign a valuation based on what WE KNOW will happen five years from now."

Thank's for the break up - a nice chuckle toward the end of the week is great medicine! ; -)!

You know that the difference from Dell is the valuation extreme.

Even if you assume the best (say $2 billion in eventual annual sales and a 10% net margin), where's the PE?

>>DELL. All of this nonsense reminds me so much of Dell.<<
Hmm, let me think about this. What ever you think about Dell, it has made profits. Wall street fell in love with Dell when their profits started to improve.
If it hadn't been for Forrester Reseach giving it until 2003, The 'Things' stock would have stayed @ 12, until they proved it.
