As for BNBN losing money. It will be like any other big e-commerce company. It will cost money to make money. I suggest you take a long hard look at BKS 10-K and AMZN's 10-K. I have published a lot of financial analysis on these companies, and it might be worth your while to find it. Don't be deluded, the only way these companies can generate profits is to increase prices. The competition is much too severe to allow for that. The ace in the hole is BKS ownership of Ingram because Ingram is AMZN's wholesaler.
