There are more mundane ends to Amazon possible. 1. If shareholders turn on the company for some reason, it could cause a chain reaction as the margins are so thin and operations costs growing. Normal tech companies are more insulated from these kinds of problems as they don't require physical assets like traditional companies and take extremely healthy margins. Amazon is balanced on a knife's edge, financially. 2. Actions by the US government could also be a threat worth considering as Amazon is a monopoly now. It currently is thought to not hurt the consumer. At the same time, the value in Amazon is the thought that they could 'turn on the profit faucet anytime' but when that happens, they'll almost certainly not be good for the consumer. 3. Jeff Bezos is also a single point of failure. He's amazing but probably still mortal. Amazon might not weather his absence well. |
