Yeah I bought and held dclk. Its way down from its highs but I'm happy with the stock obviously. The dclk board is useless though there isn't enough posts. Do you still have yours - (I doubt it since you aren't on the dclk board) Anyway back to amzn, According to PJ research reports logistics/storage and misc warehousing represents 35% of the cost of a commodity item to the consumer. So amzn is trying to build an infrastructure that can cut down on that 35%, it works for all commodity items, but it is extremely expensive to set something like this up. You know one thing, right off the top you eliminate all the shortage you have in unsold retail inventory. Today book retailers can't get rid of the books they can't sell even if there are orders for them elsewhere in the distribution chain. That won't happen with amzn. So the market cap reflects the desire that they move into all these other areas and they are doing that with drugstore, star wars etc.
