>>Can a long tell me how AMZN will compete against Buy.com?<< The institutions are betting that Bezos will build a stronger brand name. Who gets more publicity, Amazon.con or Buy.com.Who?.

Easy... AMZN loses money on every sale. That way they get a lot of sales. The business looks like it will eventually fail, but Bezos, Meeker and co., and some other institutions will make money off it first. That the REAL reason for AMZN to exist. Ray (not long on AMZN)

Ohmigawwwwwwwwwwwwd Larry, you must be kidding....... Scott Blum does not belong in the same cyber-john as Jeff B. The guy is a fast talking slimebag with a criminal record. In case you're not familiar with Jeffrey's record....... Graduated from Princeton summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1986......... In 1988, Bezos joined Bankers Trust Company, New York, leading the development of computer systems that helped manage $250+ billion in assets and becoming their youngest vice president in February, 1990. From 1990 to 1994, Bezos helped build one of the most technically sophisticated and successful quantitative hedge funds on Wall Street for D.E. Shaw & Co., New York, becoming their youngest senior vice president in 1992.
