>>Fortunately for me, I watched carefully while McCaw circled the globe with his cellular empire, while the company continually lost huge amounts of money.<< This is true. My headhunting firm started doing business with Craig when he was only 1 of 3. It was one of the best success stories I've ever personally been involved with. Other than Msft. Now be careful you don't compare the above to the "Thing". Your putting to much hope on the Amzn brand name and I think ?? What does it matter what I think?

It is awful that Christopher Byron is still allowed to write about the nets. He has continuously given his opinion for a year now that they will be devastated when they finally correct. Meanwhile they are up 10 fold. Eugene, I have heard of Christopher Byron but do not know who he is. Fortunately for me, I watched carefully while McCaw circled the globe with his cellular empire, while the company continually lost huge amounts of money. When the aggressive expansion slowed, the company became profitable and was then sold off. I stupidly avoided buying 1 share, but learned the lesson. This was a new technology and that a need. Competition was not around at that time. I won't be surprised of amzn grows into a $30-50 billion revenue business within 10 years and never makes a penny. By then they will have a very valuable franchise which may well justify a market cap of 50-100 billion, still an excellent return from here. There is already lots of competition and more are cropping up all the time. Glenn
