no signs of ever becoming profitable. And this applies to all of amzn's holdings? As opposed to the fine companies cmgi maintains in their portfolio? OK a 20b market cap is a liability sure, whereas thestreet.com is only 2billion. Do the bears reading this thread think thestreet.com franchise is equal to 1/10 amazon franchise... even though amazon also has positions in drugstore.com and homegrocer and pets.com all three of which are #1 in their markets? Is that what you really think? Thestreet.com, silknet and msgi are much better shorts. They are JUNK. There is no value there - none. Amazon has a household name, yes they are losing money, I agree. I wont take a long position here. But they are not the best short by a long margin. Amazon's vc arm alone is worth twice as much as CMGI just based on the quality of properties in the portfolio.
