Could you have written the same thing 6-8 years ago about AMZN?

What you identify as irrational markets might actually be you simply being wrong.

This is called selection bias. You are cherry picking Amazon in the present and going back in time to a past where there were many more e-commerce contenders.

I'm sure you have heard about the dot-com bubble. Do you know what all those companies were doing? E-commerce. In some alternative universe Amazon is Pets.com
