[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1898104, member: 58808"] The post office never makes a profit and is the red. Amazon doesn't make a profit and is trying to grow too much, too fast and in too many industries. FDX ground has nowhere to go but expand and go up. They've only been in the segment for 15 years. Of course they'll grow hubs. What you really need to look at is profit per piece. How much profit are these shipping companies making per piece of volume. Also look at their debt and what they actually own. When compare those numbers, ups is doing very well. Amazon is going after IBM, Google apple etc in the cloud storage business as well. They're going in so many directions and they will spread themselves too thin. Jeff Bezos already has said he doesn't know if Amazon is one of those long term type companies. Growth for growth and without huge profit margins doesn't signal to a company that will put others out of business. It could go bad in the long term for Amazon if they don't start showing better profits for their shareholders. [/QUOTE]
