I'm constantly amazed at how poorly some companies are run. The only company on this list that has a grip on the future is Amazon. The business strategy they have been using seems to be working well.Even though they don't currently turn a profit they have tons of assets and a huge loyal customer base.

There was a list in the WSJ in february of all the companies losing money that would be bankrup within the next 6 months without any more investor money

The list was huge

Does anyone notice that the above list basically lists anyone that's any good at selling on the web? By that, I mean, any company with decent customer service, good shipping times, and good product selection?

We had to cut back too! Since we lost Reel as a client. And PeoplePc did not renew their contract. Long Live CarParts! http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif
