Avoid BBY and AMZN? I don't understand. You posted: BBY listed as one of the "stocks to avoid" along with Amzon.com (and others) by L Roy Papp in Worth Magazine (March '99): Amazon.com (AMZN recent price 106, fair value:$30) Best Buy (BBY, recent price $82, fair value:$45) Avoid BBY because "The Internet is a serious threat to traditional retailers." And avoid AMZN because internet retailers still don't get enough page hits from enough people to turn a profit. (?) How does this all make sense? Go with what works. "Fair value" is like beauty - just one person's opinion. If you really studied success records, you'd see what to avoid. I'd avoid Worth Magazine.
