I of course agree, but I do think that Galloway's explanations for that success sounds far too simplistic.

Sounds like an interesting read. But it doesn't sound like it answers the deeper questions. For example, I agree that #Apple creates a form of lust in it's loyal customers, to, as you said, "driving them to pay irrational prices when there are essentially identical products available from competitors at far lower prices." But HOW has Apple achieved this? Yes, #Amazon has built itself up from an upstart book seller, to essentially being able to provide for every aspect of our lives. but HOW did they manage to achieve this? Every other book seller is now either still just selling books, or out of business all together. $AAPL $AMZN $FB $GOOGL

I wonder how likely they are to succeed. And if they do, if it will taste as good.

Enjoyed this. When will we see more by you?

Great video Greg, I'm a fan of @[Danielle DiMartino Booth](user:22665), so I particularly enjoyed this.

Where did you see that?

Interesting article @[Mish Shedlock](user:5141). But why does it matter? Virtually every store from pharmacies to supermarkets sell their own brand of discounted, comparable products.

And I wonder... how many Amazon Basic products does #Amazon sell as a percentage of it's total product offering? I suspect Amazon offers a far smaller percentage than their brick and mortar counterparts. $AMZN

I agree. How large is the pet market anyway?

I have been completely dumbfounded by #Bitcoin's meteoric rise. $BITCOMP.

Better yet, will you let us know when you do?
