    Amazon - King of the Optical Hill

    It seems that Amazon, the tech giant, is the largest Internet-based retailer in the world by total sales and market capitalization accounting for 43% of ALL internet sales is going into pharmaceuticals within the next few months.

    Jeff Bezos I planning to be the King of the Hill an it appears that he is well on his way to achieving his goal.

    I wonder if Amazon will buy out Luxottica and Essilor before or after the proposed merger.

    They are all into a 360 degree expansion mood, but maybe the Essilux combination once approved by March 2018 they might want to buy up the Amazon shares.

    Essilor now a French public company is still in a technical field of optical goods manufacturing on a worldwide basis, with the now heavily added online retail opticals and the other coming addition of over 5000 B+M opticals, which need some loving care by optically trained minds.

    Father Lux is retiring, a family matter, and that is the sole reason for the merger.

    The Essilor's will be at the helm of the combined organization and they study in details every important move the corporation is going to make. They have always done so, and that is why they are now who they are.
