>Like AOL came back to earth in 1996 AMZN is not AOL. "...there are some important differences between AOL and Amazon. First of all, AOL provides a service for which users get charged $20 a month. It also offers e-mail, which insures steady traffic and is a pain to change once a client's friends and business contacts have his or her address. Simply put, torpidity keeps a lot of customers coming back to AOL."

>>Like AOL came back to earth in 1996:<< William, I think you know this already, but the only comparison between Aol and Amzn is the fact that @ one time they were both losing $money. Now even back then the analysts and the Aol company were forecasting profits. Amzn has and probably never will forecast profits. If you think Wall Street will give Bezos 10 years to deliver, then you just have too much $money. If you must give it away, give it to me.I'll buy a bar with it in Leucadia, and name it "Williams give away by the Sea".;-)) Ps I still and will always think that Aol will eventually buy Amzn. You see they're both Kleiner children, Aol being the older child must look after the younger, even if its in trouble.
