<<BKS is late in the game of internet commerce.>> Why is BKS is late with ecommerce? Their online bookstore has been up and operational for almost 2 years now. So you are saying the same thing with AMZN being late to the game with online auction? EBAY has established their dominance in that ecommerce industry before AMZN's recent entrance. <<To compare Amazon to BKS in terms of book, sales, earnings, is not valid. You have to have information re: sales for BKS from internet and compare to Amazon and then factor a premium for AMZN due to how well known they are.>> So you are saying AMZN should be worth 10x BKS, because they will sell more books than BKS eventually one day . . . one year . . .or even in one decade? <<expect BKS to get to 40+ by the end of the month, as most of these go to their highs by the spinoff date. To expect much higher may be fooling you.>> Ok, let's see who will be the fool smiling all the way to the bank within the next 2 weeks. <g>
