don't have to scale the fulfillment size -- they can just have their customers sell each other stuff, the same way eBay do. Lastly, it is very powerful when integrated with Amazon's other services. << Ding dong ding dong....

>>If you look at Wal-Mart, Wal- Mart's a $150 billion company. There is no reason that Amazon's opportunity isn't as large as Wal-Mart's. << I can't get off the floor. I've never heard so much horse shit in my life. I still can't stop laughing. :-))))))))))

''I think it'll (share price) go up about $10 to $15. I don't think there's any cap on it. If you look at Wal-Mart, Wal- Mart's a $150 billion company. There is no reason that Amazon's opportunity isn't as large as Wal-Mart's. It's not going to get there in a year or two, but it's a long-term story that you've got to have in your portfolio. My goodness. What baloney. ''It is a perfect business for the Internet. eBay has shown how successful they can be, by doing it. It allows Amazon to go into multiple categories very quickly because they don't have to scale the fulfillment size -- they can just have their customers sell each other stuff, the same way eBay do. Lastly, it is very powerful when integrated with Amazon's other services. I do not see EBAY burning the house down with profits. They have some but very little. Glenn
