William Amazon lost money even when they had no warehouse and were drop shipping from Ingram's warehouse. Why did they settle in Seattle, if not to use Ingram's warehouse ? What happened to that plan ?

>>why is it that a convenience store can make profit on $200k per quarter, and amzn can't at $200 Million per quarter? Because Amazon has built infrastructure for a multibillion business. I can't believe the cementheads (a term I used affectionately alot last year) can't get it. William, The fundamentals are playing out as I predicted. You were anticipating a close to breakeven year in 1999 or the year 2000. It is not even close. Why is it the cement heads here do not get it? <G> Glenn
