re: #5 Destro
Amazon saw just $97 million in net profits in Q4. Yes, $97 million. That would be a big win for a company with $1 billion in revenue, but I’m probably not going out on a limb to say that it’s a red flag when you’re doing $21 billion.
Is it because they are undercutting the brick and mortar competition by undercharging for goods?
I don’t think so. They wouldn’t operate at a loss, so perhaps you’re just used to being over-charged for goods to pay for showrooms and sales people.
