Amazon shares rose 20 percent, giving the retailer a larger market capitalization than bricks-and-mortar behemoth Walmart. How long will it take for whatchamacallit.com to beat out whoopiedo eyewear boutique in the mall?
I know there will be room for the niche players to make a few bucks but there are major change in the supply chain in the works. For example, I wonder how long the manufacturers will continue to deal with the "small potatoes" buyer. (We sell in quantities of thousands and you want six measly pieces? Sorry.)
The next five years will be very interesting.
