I am waiting for Amazon to yet another category ,maybe software. That's the catalyst that is going to propel Amazon past 200. This really has little merit but do you believe AMZN will ever turn a profit? I am making no reference to the stock price.

Anindo, >>I am waiting for Amazon to yet another category ,maybe software. That's the catalyst that is going to propel Amazon past 200. << Is this like the 18th century scheme in which shares were sold for "an enterprise of great advantage, but its nature is not to be known" ? I can't see how any price can be assigned to amzn. I take my trading clues from the way the stock trades each day. I see no connection to the usual business evaluation methods.
