<<they are not expected to make a profit till 2001, should handly do it in 2000........It is going to take close to 6 bil for them to break even. >> So taking a leap of faith that you are correct, then you expect amzn to multiply their revenue by more than 8 X just one year from now ?? Jeff Bezos would strongly disagree with that. Yes, Najib, there is a santa claus ..... Victor, Let's stay in la la land and assume that Amazon will have volume of 6 billion in the year 2000. Since fulfillment costs are variable, how would that make them profitable? The question is directed at Najib. Let's go further and assume Amazon will do $20 billion in sales in the year 2000<G> How will they turn a profit? Glenn
