It's been able to sustain 90s era revenue growth rates, not 90s era income growth rates no?



I think all of the dot com boom companies other than the shovel sellers like MS and Cisco were not profitable in the 90s? Not even future behemoths like Amazon.


Amazon would've been profitable if it weren't investing so much in growth. Also, eBay, Yahoo!, AOL, Priceline, Cisco Systems, E*TRADE and DoubleClick became profitable in the 90s according to DeepSeek.
