scott....amzn....40bil revenues by 2009... the "analysts" speak of taking on the number two e-commerce vendor ebay....it proves they know not of what they speak...ebay an online flea market, a clearing house,does not buy or sell anything for its account...amzn a retailer....so how can they attempt to make a comparison...kinda like comparing exxon with gm....after all they both have something to do with transportation... its easy for an analyst to critique a tangible such as dell...only smoke and mirrors to judge a concept, yet to show nothing more than revenue...for how do you establish a profit baseline when few i-nets make a profit???? i know some on the thread "invest" or "trade", internet entities with less than stellar balance sheets....and as long as they remain nimble and make money...great...that's what it's all about.. but lets step away from the blackjack table and become businessmen...owners of that which we buy...in for the long haul.. would you rather buy four shares of dell for every one share of aol at todays closing price, like getting an instant 4:1 stock split....will dell reach 100 before aol hits 400?.....i would take the "split" in a heartbeat...trading is one thing, but to invest in a stock for the sole reason that it keeps on going up has an inherent risk... dell will have 40b in e-commerce revenues, with profit...much sooner than amzn...
