If all goes well, AMZN could still rush ahead of AAPL and beat its peer at becoming the first ever $2 trillion company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two reasons for Amazon success. (1) Long term planning by Jeff Bezos, (the CEO of Amazon ,, (2) the unethical practice of Amazon not collecting the sales tax in the initial years,,, Amazon exploited this loophole to an extreme and its selling partners are exploiting the loophole even today...

Maybe, but as long as it's legal, a public stock would be required to use the loophole by its responsibility to shareholders. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Jeff built a house with a gym in it. Maybe he read a book about economics. @Epic told us all we should be doing that more often. Start with a book or two, then sell everything else for everyone else. Not bad advice. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Epic + 390 cc September 6, 2018 12 hours ago, Stephen said: How stupid is this market giving a company with PE of 300 and no buybacks and dividends a price target of 1 trillion Back in 2016, Amazon had a PE of 300 when it was only worth $600 and no buybacks nor dividends. PE only tells half of the story. A lot of people expected Amazon's profits would go through the roof back in 2016, and they were right. A lot of people must also be expecting the same to happen again. If they are right again, then Amazon will be a $5000 stock by 2020. If they are right, then Amazon is on sale right now at a mere $2000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only in America. A rational P/E for Amazon might barely be six and a half [6.5]. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
