Jeff Bezos, at a company meeting, predicted that Amazon will one day fail. As we watch the likes of GM, GE, IBM, Xerox, DuPont, Sears and AT&T struggle to maintain market position it is always good to consider the likes of British East India Company or maybe more recently Pa Railroad. While we see significant changing in technology, we will see the "older" firms try to keep up. Some will and some will be Western Electric or DEC.
