leo, Amazon does not even have 5% of all retail sales. That is just a story line to keep the market from collapsing until Trump is in long enough to give him the blame. I can prove that Amazon is not the problem. And, now Ebay is getting into online sales, Walmart has teamed up with Google, Amazon's glory days are over, IMO.
