Garcia, I love it when you talk dirty. Hows that war going over in Kosovo? Anyway, I've copied for you my response to the assertion that COOL should be valued similarly to Amazon. Hope it doesn't ruin your day, Garcia. >>Your post is laughable when comparing Amazon to cool. 1. Amazon is the largest ecommerce seller of books by a long shot, cool is not even close to the largest in its field. 2. Margins in the book business (oh yes, margins again) run at almost DOUBLE what cool gets. There is a chance that Amazon could make money sometime, because the product margins are clearly better. Go look at the 10Qs of amazon, if you know how to find them. 3. Amazon has a real management team. Comparing Jeff Bezos to Peck, is like comparing a high school basketball player to Michael Jordan. Peck is a second stringer. 4. Amazon has a world recognized brand name. Who has heard of Outpost? Ecommerce, your misconception that since Amazon is successful, that ever other internet sales company should be measured by the same yardstick is so incredibly naive that it would be laughable - however it is not funny, its sad - idiots like you have spent your hard earned money on a company that you know little about. Sad.
