But their market cap hasn’t. Odds are they won’t 5x their size in the next five years as they did in their last five.

Eventually they'll start being right. Not even Amazon can grow at this pace forever.

Their retail business is still in a tiny portion of the world.

I’m not seeing estimates of Amazon at 5x larger business (revenue). Estimates have Amazon at ~2x revenue ($850ish B) in five years and earnings growth slower than current levels. Folks think they’ll grow, just not quite as fast.

We’ll see. I think it’s going to be hard to maintain today’s growth rate at this size.
