jan peak all big tech is ATH, GOOG AAPL TSLA AMZN is still lagging behind so simple logic tells u QQQ 600C before market correction
By the end of next week NVDA 170 TSM 250 AMZN 240 MSFT 515 META 750 ORCL 250 PLTR 150 HOOD 105 AAPL 220 AMD 160
AMZN--seems like an obvious one with everything they have under one umbrella, movies, goods to buy, etc.
Fun fact: IBM has outperformed GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, and AMZN over the past five years.
Kind of crazy. I'm trying to get some perspective for the year and on my portfolio, and while so far I'm not doing too shabby, it's interesting seeing what's driving my gains. (All these are YTD.) (You can go ahead and call this a flex post, sorry.) * CSU, LMN, TOI, have all yielded at least \~15% since I bought in November, February, and February respectively. * RKLB is up 44% YTD. * NVDA up 19% and AMD up 14% YTD. * BN up 7% since January, but I doubled my stake in April and hit near the low so am up 16% on BN for the year. (Second batch of shares up 30%.) * ATRL is up 29% YTD. * MSFT is up 18% YTD. And my largest holding being that small cap bio-tech I can't name at risk of being stoned, which is up 11% YTD. Then we have the two dirty boys, GOOGL and AMZN, who are getting punished at **-5.1%** and up 1.8% YTD respectively. I'm kind of astounded that they are doing so poorly given somehow everything else is having one hell of a year. I'm not about to come here every day and complain, but even *AMD* has had a turnaround of sentiment in the recent few days. Holding both hoping for an eventual breakout of resistance or turn of sentiment, but damn. Really? (At least it's not Apple, which is down 14.7% YTD.) Anyway, while I know I'm too concentrated in tech, I feel pretty good about the portfolio *for now*. Uncertainty is abound, but we're hitting ATHs and I'm going to try and hold through most noise. We'll see what happens.
I stopped out at 490 yesterday. Slight profit. I think it trades mostly sideways for a while money rotates into APPL and AMZN. Not worth the theta to sit on them. Market is overall too bullish and it’s hard to see a reason to be bearish with a positive jobs report and unemployment dropping

Love my midstream oil & gas MLPs. (And I agree on your "reddit isn't always garbage advice", not just for stocks but lots of stuff.) It may be there's more and more AI generated crap content, but normally that's done with some sort of profit motive, so the real humans aren't that hard to spot. My holdings: ET and EPD, I'm up 38 and 64% in them, not counting the DRIP purchases. They're my 1st (tied with AMZN) and 5th largest individual stock holdings and pay a glorious 7.3 and 6.8% dividend. AMZN is a close 3rd, as I have a 5 banger return on that. The oldest shares (about half of what I own) are up 16x! Once I retired I put some into AMZY to get some day-to-day return out of it. I'm almost always a dividend investor in individual stocks. I may not grow the AMZY position past where it is, which I'm currently about flat in share price wise - just booking the neato 50% divvies. A lot of my MLP shares in ET and EPD were bought with proceeds from closing my position in another midstream MLP, ETRN/EQT. EQT had spun off ETRN to offload a risk (court case? Regulation? I forget) and it was paying a huge dividend, closer to 9%. I was heavy in ETRN because it was paying such a huge divvy. The risk was settled in their favor, so ETRN spiked up! When EQT reabsorbed it the dividend dropped way down below 3%, so I closed out ETRN (some shares had converted to EQT by then). Almost doubled my initial investment earning 9% dividends along the way, booked gains of over 100k on this one holding from 2022-2024. Got kind of lucky, I think. It was just another MLP to get huge divs from. I wasn't aware of the EQT thing until news broke they were reabsorbing. That was a sad sale to make, but happy to book the huge gain and put those funds back to earning again.
I bought APPL a month ago. Got AMZN and GOOGL in February then I doubled down when they dipped to average down my cost.
Sure they can be competitive in the robotics space but it still doesn’t negate that there is competition in the space and WMT actually has drones that they have piloted in various places. Ill give you AWS but doesn’t prove that AMZN is not a shareholder friendly company.
SPY and SCHD w/o dividends included beats AMZN?

I hear you but beg to differ on a couple of your points: when i buy stock it's true that i'm not giving money to the company it came from but i am inadvertently pushing the price of their stock up which enhances the value of the company. Many companies(example: AMZN) generate small amounts of new stocks to pay employees, these employees enhance the productivity of the company. Later when the company has free cash it'll often buy some stock back so as not to inflate their stock. bottom line: you are most certainly helping companies grow by buying their stock, of course the executives and owners benefit more than you from the stock appreciation(they own more stock) yet still you get a small piece of the pie for being invested in their stock. Regarding your argument that finance is 4% of the labor force yet collects 25% of the profits, its just because these jobs are highly specialized so they pay high wages, and without them there would not be a stock market which generates a huge amount of cash for the companies to deploy into growth.
As a WMT shareholder myself I wont deny that AMZN has a better valuation. The fact of the matter is that at least WMT has done more for shareholders, even with their mass development and investment on their retail structure and strategy. Heck if TGT doesn’t get their act together WMT will start to take them out.
AMZN? Massive and growing revenue AWS Robotics play AI play Self-driving car play (Zoox) Space tech play (Project Kuiper) Drone delivery play ... yeah totally overrated.
You could not be more blatant about how misleading you’re trying to be with the statistics… I mean I could just point out AMZN 2 year return being 110% and now you no longer have a point
I've held AMZN for more than 5 years so that arbitrary cutoff point means little me; nothing to be honest. Good luck with WMT trading a higher multiple on less margin and half the top line growth.
This guy wants to buy $WMT at 42x earnings instead of $AMZN at 36x earnings. Be my guest. Both great companies, but one has a lower valuation and exponentially more growth ahead of it.
Finally someone said it. Owning AMZN is like dating someone who’s super smart, ambitious, and attractive but never texts back, forgets your birthday, and spends all your money on rocket fuel.
Has outperformed $AMZN over a 5 year basis 🤭

Ive been selling some tech and semi cap (sold SNPS, CDNS, trimmed heavily AMAT, LRCX and KLAC, trimmed slightly AMZN, META) I am sitting on some cash and I absolutely hate not being invested. Are there any quality non tech names that anybody is willing to suggest at today’s valuations? Thanks I added a little bit to MSCI and own some SPGI, MCO, UNH . Admittedly I have a bias for large cap due to perceived safety. I was thinking using my meta proceeds to buy more SPGI and start a position in BRKB
AMZN pinned to mid point 221.39 Watch as it settles just below 221.5 Gotta crush those 220 and 222.5 options
It’s so funny I bought AMZN 225c for Jul 18 YESTERDAY when the stock was 220 The stock is up and my call is down Don’t fucking claim implied volatility AMZN was flat as shit the entire day
Would you sell off some of your AMZN stock to buy NVDA?

next week AMZN 240 and AMD 145
7/3 Watchlist MSTR over 407.39 AMZN over 221.88 NVDA over 157.60 AAPL over 213.34 PDD over 106.03
Look at that huge drop on AMZN
Anyone else jump on AMZN because of Figma?
QQQm first of all. Then I like META, AMZN, PLTR, HOOD, RDDT, NVDA, MSFT

AMZN is on honeymoon, can't fuck, eat and drink anymore, no movement for nearest 15-20 days, bruh
at this point selling cars matters to TSLA about as much as selling books matters to AMZN
I need to stop with the AMZN calls 😭
QQQ is more than AAPL, AMZN, GOOG and META. Also, what is the bull case for Facebook? It is overrun with shitty AI ads and not appealing to younger generation anymore. What about semiconductor companies? Such a weird post.
AMZN in jail until after prime week regard.
AMZN can’t even stay up 1 percent If this isn’t the signal the top is in I don’t know what else is
AMZN prime days, i’m thinking 230+. AMD is just tracing back up to 147 and may test higher.
bullish on AMD and AMZN next week

Trimmed more semi cap, sold some AMZN and GOOG, upto 7% cash now , looking to either DCA into the a boglehead type portfolio or stick it into some non-tech high quality names.
Tesla has been a net issuer of stock, rather than a buyer, both recently and throughout its corporate lifespan. Compare that with its Magnificent Seven peers, which have been buying stock hand over fist, other than AMZN, which is at least neutral to modest. I got these data from Macrotrends (links to each company below). Amounts are shown in thousands of dollars (typo on their website, which says millions), positive signs indicate buybacks, negative signs are issues. Note that NVDA's "last year" is 2025, whereas the others are 2024. |Company|Net Buybacks, Last Year|Net Buybacks, Cumulative| |:-|:-|:-| |[AAPL](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$94,949|$719,984| |[GOOG](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GOOG/alphabet/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$62,222|$297,956| |[MSFT](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/MSFT/microsoft/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$15,252|$223,168| |[NVDA](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$33,216|$56,934| |[META](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/META/meta/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$30,125|$137,899| |[AMZN](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|$0|$7,237| |[TSLA](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/net-common-equity-issued-repurchased)|\-$1,241|\-$22,540| We also can track [insider purchases](https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/1k6lpmi/what_are_corporate_insiders_doing_with_the_mag_7/) for companies on the open market. When I last updated it, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, and META insiders were buying back their stock. APPL, AMZN, and TSLA insiders had yet to buy a single share on the open market in the last 12 months.
TSLA - biggest YOY drop in sales in its history. Believe it or not - completely bullish and up 5% Hahahaha. What the actual fuck. Any other company in the world posts earnings like this and they lose half their market cap. Can you imagine AMZN saying they dropped that hard.
I didn't say "software lock" was the only reason, if you want to term it that way. As ML engineer you most likely aren't involved in infra and hardware architecture, you are just the consumer of it. It's just a "tool" provided to you. If I am a large SaaS software provider, I can deploy to AMZN AWS, MSFT Azure, GOOLG GCP or ORCL OCI using Kubernetes and dealing with small naunce of different clould provider API's. Not ideal, but achievable. What's you're talking about is nearly complete rewrites of code. Substantially less than ideal.
Chances of AMZN dropping $20 in the 2 weeks after prime week like it did last year?

in short, CVNA is not just the AMZN of used & new cars. Its also a bank, lender, insurance broker via ROOT, and more. If CVNA actually held on to their subprime loans that yield 20-30%, instead of selling them, they would make billions in net income, making them worth a multiple of what it is trading today. the theory is that as each year go by, CVNA will have more and more capital to retain their subprime loans and collect NI from it. collectively over a long period, they'll act as a bank and earn 20-30% returns on their notes. at one point, they'll hold all their notes in house instead of selling them which will yield them billions in NI over the long term.

I've bought some losers in my day. Bought BP after they pissed in the gulf. I took a bath in their pissed in gulf. 1/10 would not recommend. Annoyed I didn't buy AMZN the first year I spent over 5k there. Instead, I bought in 2014, a nice 16x'er. Mostly I look for value and mostly trust Morningstar ratings on that. Since FIRE added way more REITS and oil & gas midstream plays (ET and EPD at the moment). Nearly doubled our money in ETRN before it went back into EQT with a too-low dividend so we got out. Earning over 7% dividends on the holdings I manage if I omit GOOG and AMZN (both of which well in the green).
Less so than GOOG or AMZN. Nothing is immortal. They used to say that about GE. Rode that one for a while too, bought shares at $10 in 2009. Got out before they dropped below that again in 2018 or so.
That's me with AMZN. But Morningstar put a sell rating on AAPL so I closed it. Also not a fan of their phones, their main breadwinner. And several times over the decades they've nearly ruined my only liked product they put out the MacBook line.
AMZN 230 calls 7/11 and AMD 140 7/11. Easy. Money.
Big data, infrastructure, chips (AMZN, GOOG, ORCL, MSFT, NVDA, AMD, DLR)
Puts on AMZN on the next pump Bezos sold 5b at 217 so as soon as it goes to 225 buying 220p
PLTR (not necessarily at the current price, unless you have a long-term horizon) and AMZN.
Lots of relative strength in META / AAPL / AMZN / GOOG
Hi,I have some leap buy call deep ITM with June 2026 expiry namely nvda, google, avgo, unh, AMZN and cls without any Stop loss.. thinking to have it in mind and take action as required your thoughts ? Should I hold it for 6-9 months or just keep booking profits.
AMZN holds 218 on the daily and there’s no resistance to 233
Can AMZN break through 200 and stay there?

rolled my 7/18 $310 UNH CSP into a 3/20/26 $360 UNH CSP and used the net premiums to buy some AMZN and some UNH. (original option was ~$2200 at open, ~$600 at close, and the new one opened at ~$6800)
I never kept careful enough track to know for sure, but I'm very happy with the results. It started with just a Mad Money account and was a very small part of our investments as our income levels settled and started to grow. Once I got comfortable and knew I enjoyed doing it and did well, I grew it more aggressively, to include self-managing rollovers as they came in with job changes. It now makes up about 1/3 of our net worth and is earning 7.7% dividends (when I omit AMZN and GOOG). My holdings in those two positions are up 400 and 36%, opened them in 2014 and 2022, respectively. Prior to FIRE, it was earning closer to 5% dividends, I've been boosting the return lately with large positions in REITs and oil & gas midstream and a couple derivative income ETFs. My wife's IRA came under my mgt mid-May 2022 and is up 47% since then, a bit less than VOO's 58%. That's not too surprising, I definitely made a bad investment that first year and booked the loss and moved on. I think the other 2/3 of it has performed far better than that, just can't be sure. That's only about 1/3 of the money I'm managing, the rest of which I've done since just before 2000. The other two accounts are sitting on 62% gains (taxable) and 20% gains (BENE IRA). That IRA I've been taking RMDs since 2005, and I've traded more freely there without tax consequences, hence the lower gain. This year and the next few years before social security kicks in our income will be low enough to book LTCG gains tax-free. We'll live off those proceeds but also reinvest some of it, maybe even right back into the same holding if I'm staying long in it. That kind of flexibility I get with self-managing is a big win.
same here. started with $30k back in 2009 from a VA disability check and have well over $15M now. got heavy into the big names (which were the big names back then) $AMZN $GOOG $NFLX $PCLN and $TSLA were my main names. Lots of insane earnings wins early on when they actually mattered that helped pad my bankroll.
AMZN had one job, taking me to 250, but noooo, fucking bald Bezos gets married
I did the same thing when Amazon and Meta fell below $100 each. Wish I had more money available at the time. I also went with a bigger position with AMZN, still doubled my money, but I would have 6X+ with META.
Why AMZN dumping today? Damn it
Thanks for your submission! To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses! So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts: * YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened. * Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares. We want to see the actual trade. What you got in at, what you sold at. Then tell us why you did it. Give us the story of why you're a fucking genius (or idiot). This is what a great post looks like: [$17.2K Gain on AMZN](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_amzn/) - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned.

My AMZN shares took a hit today for Bezos to pay for that wife. I better get a stroke in bruh
Tell me about it as someone who has 60% of my comp in AMZN shares — and they assume 15% YoY growth when granted!
If AMZN can hold above mid-218 it’s got room to move to the upside towards 233
!banbet AMZN 223.5 1d
!banbet AMZN 223.5 1 day
AMZN suffering from attention deficit since Bezos married a new hoe
STOCKS ONLY GO UP. Except AMZN
Just out of interest, what do you consider the other 9 to be? Personally, as well as GOOG/GOOGL I would say: AMD NVDA META AMZN NFLX RR AVGO RKLB RHM Would be interested what others think?
By "Investing" I take it that you mean becoming rich in the stock market. That presupposes that one has "seed money" to make an initial investment, and that "seed money" must come from some source(s): savings from wages, equity from some asset (such as a home). So, the underlying question(s) might more clearly be: How much net worth did you have - and from what sources - when you made your first investment in stocks (or in ETFs or equity based mutual funds), and from that starting point how much have you made entirely from investing in the stock market. The other concept that deserves clarification is how do you define being "RICH." That is obviously, pretty subjective, but I'm my own case, it would be having a net worth of $10m - being a decamillionaire. When my wife and I - both school teachers making a combined total income of about $30-35k - got married 50 years ago we had virtually no money saved. Almost from the start, however, we began "paying ourselves" by setting up and contributing to Tax Sheltered Annuities (TSAs). In our first year 1976-77 we contributed a combined total of $1,[968.It](http://968.It) took us ten years to accumulate $100k in our combined accounts. By the time we retired in 1999, after 30 years of teaching we had contributed $300k, and our accounts had earned an additional $500k for a grand total of $800k. For us that was a form of "investing," but I suppose one might instead consider that our "Seed Money." After we retired we transferred the $800k into IRAs, and from that time forward, our investments were entirely in one form or another in stock equities - originally in mutual funds, but, as soon as we could, we moved into stock market portfolios exclusively. In late 2011 we consolidated various equity accounts into a single brokerage with a total of just over $1m, and adding in our home's equity, our net worth was a bit more than $1.5m. In the time (13.5 years) since the money we have made entirely in stocks has added another $8m to our net worth. That plus our home's current value gives us a total of a little over $10m. So more than 80% of our net worth is from investing in stocks. In the last 7 or 8 years we have refined and simplified our investment strategy to investing in "DOMINANT PLAYERS IN EXPANDING NICHES" For the first few years our 2 largest holdings were Tesla and Apple, but in the past couple of years they have failed to meet both standards and we took our profits and invested in other companies that did meet both criteria. Today we hold just 7 stocks (in order of current market value in our portfolio): NFLX, NVDA, BYDDY, COST, META AMZN, GOOG/L.
AMZN calls still gaping my anoos even with this pump
Closed out all AMZN and NFLX PCs for massive gains. Entering more AAPL shorts with ITM CCS. QQQ making new highs but one of the largest components in XLK is struggling to stay afloat above $200
Why AMZN dump, did someone leak the Bezos drunken escapade from his wedding?
Here's the numbers from prior 3 years: Revenue - $394b | $393b | $391b EPS - $6.11 | $6.13 | $6.11 I don't know the exact totals, but they have spent a large amount of cash buying back stock - I can tell as their cash pile has dwindled. Mature companies that have no growth avenues to invest in tend to buy back stock and retire it to "inflate" EPS. I think too many people are just caught up in the name. I've been in the game a long time. At one time INTC and CSCO were tech giants. But they stagnated. While other tech giants from that era such as MSFT and AMZN did not. Everytime I read one of these posts and comments, they are all lacking in basic financial detail. This is the way to determine if a stock is going to trend up or down. Disclosure - I am long AAPL shares, but I have not added to it in a very long time outside of dividends which I reinvest all of mine. But of the other Mag6 - I own and have added shares within past 4-5 years - they are all progressing in the right direction on top and bottom lines.
