Amazon: Losing Money to Make a Fortune
Amazon knows shipping is expensive—and often loses money on it. But it’s strategic:
- Frictionless Buying: Free fast shipping means more orders.
- Loyalty + Data: Customers stick, Amazon learns.
- Ecosystem Control: Warehouses, vans, and logistics = long-term dominance.
Lesson: Sometimes, losing today buys you tomorrow’s market.
Good Morning, Money. Your sip of success starts with long-game thinking.
