Nobody is posting responses to your post because they are all rushing to Amazon's site to check it out.

That literally seemed like something out of Anchorman or some comedy.

That was awkward especially for the woman. Back to the original subject, we are Amazon Prime subscribers and we order almost everything we need (i.e., toiletries, household items, etc.) off Amazon. Most of our basic items are on automatic monthly shipment. We live in a rural town (no Walmart only a DG) and it's cheaper to have it delivered than drive 30+ miles to a WalMart/Target. I also can write off housing expenses and Prime categorizes all my expenses for me so when it comes tax time I know exactly how much I spent on those items.

We know why you use Amazon Prime.

What makes this so creepy is that there are hundreds of reasons Amazon outsells Walmart. If we ranked all the reasons Amazon outsells Walmart, the reason he proposed would be in the hundred thousands, somewhere around "it starts with an A so people see it first in the phone book."

Funny thing is they basically don't. I remembered from a couple of years ago that they had announced that they were basically getting out of the, um, franker, area. I went and looked today and they had mostly sexy underwear, but nothing not found on Victoria's Secret. They have sexy literature and they do have a couple of items I would classify as "sex toys." I doubt seriously that they sell enough of those to pass Walmart in sales...

Amazon did not pass Walmart in sales, they passed them in stock valuation. It starts with "Amazon is worth more than...", not sold more than. They are talking about the overall worth of the company based on stock price, not on revenue.

I am a stock holder of both......

As of 2 years ago Amazon still had never made a profit.....after 20+ years in business. Have they finally made it into the black overall? Anyone know?

A USA Today article that discusses your question. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/01/29/amazon-earnings-profits/22511177/

The chart shows no quarterly losses between 2003 and 2012

I found this:

Add it all up, and Amazon’s profits for its entire existence are still less than what ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) takes home every 2.5 weeks.

No company which was a true startup ever makes money the first several years, so that's not really a pertinent question...

I think it is....especially when determining a stock value. When you are saying it's a more valuable company than Walmart. I understand that for people who are active investors it doesn't matter. I just personally believe that a company that is 20 years old.....and still has minimal profits.....has "tech bubble" written all over it. Money being poured into that company for years....from investors....and little to show on the bottom line has to be concerning to some folks.

I'm guessing the big investors will get out before any stumbles happen....
