AMZN

trading_penny

Recession is brutal for common people. But it is also cyclic so avoiding it is next to impossible and timing it also not possible. Do the FA abd invest in stocks for long term. AMZN , msft and googl are tickers which are playing vital role in cloud transformation. The growth will continue so keep buying it or better to buy spy (as spy consists of all these tickers)in slow tranches as saving habit. Short term it may be red but long term it will be winner. Anytime better than saving in bond or real estate. Real estate is illiquid asset and comes with cost of maintenance. Index funds are much more hassle free investment. This is what i do , please do your own DD and do whatever suits your risk profile.

What you describe is extremely common when a companies earnings are close to 0. P/E takes the last 4 quarters EPS divided by share price. So say your quarters go like this, -$3.00EPS, $0.55 EPS, $1.00 EPS, then $1.50EPS. Due to that one bad quarter your annual eps is $0.05. Now lets say your company trade for $100 a share, youre P/E will be 1000. Then a quarter goes by and you report an EPS of $2.00. Well now that bad quarter drops off and you get an annual EPS of $5.05 with a P/E of 19.8. One of the biggest mistakes I see new investors make is a fixation on P/E ratio without fully understanding the details. I couldnt even begin to tell you how many times over the years ive seen people on this sub lambasting AMZN, NFLX, and every big tech company during their growth phase, not fully understanding that their 400 p/e ratio was just a single measurement with varying usefulness. Cyclical companies will be all over the place, growth companies as well, and even stable companies will have one time hits to earnings which greatly skew their metrics.

Since The Expanse has ended I couldn't bring myself to watch TV anymore. Long AMZN

PoolWoodworker

I think the bear case for NFLX is that they are competing against folks who are content losing money on streaming. AAPL and AMZN have other revenue streams and are fine to break even so can essentially overpay for content. Disney can sell merch or theme park tickets while breaking even too.

SeeMyApp

Invest in an ETF (like VTSAX) or a solid blue chip company that’s decently valued, like AMZN If you’re really open to risk though… Maybe checkout Baba, or DIS

Opinions on AMZN? With an average buy in at $3250, what do you think I should do? Sell at -10% to protect risk of falling even harder or hold?

It's not over until my boomer boss sells his 401k (he was a perfect indicator for 2020, bought AMZN at 3700 and a really great guy to inverse, he has the cathie touch). Good news is I'll let you guys know when he does. Bad news is he hasn't even mentioned stocks this month yet. We have a long way down to go.

I did some hard work to make some under the radar picks. It was super diligent. Pretty happy with my unique portfolio. Ended up with AAPL, AMZN, FB, NFLX, GOOG, MSFT and TSLA.

I just noticed AMZN down -25% from ATH, wtf im buying tomorrow

Mr_Yuzu

AMZN was the most popular in q4 2019, fo sure.

WheredMyMoneyGoBro

That’s the point If AMZN had a memey autistic CEO it would do the same thing, it even has an unrelated space company

\> Every single popular stock on WSB eventually tanks. The more popular it is, the harder it tanks. \> 1. Is this facts or nah? 2. If it is facts, then why tho? 3. What would happen if a ticker like $AMZN became the most popular? 4. WSB meme stock prank?

I was curious about what this looked like so I tried it in TOS. I can create a covered spread just fine but when I try to add the short ATM put I get “cannot create custom covered spread.” Do certain brokers not allow this type of trade? I’m using the AMZN 19 Jan 24 @ $2750 strike to look at this.

SnipahShot

AMZN, SOFI and INTC. They are the only ones I am increasing.

Remember when AMZN was a company people talked about? Been a while.

I’d be kinda nervous holding AMZN and FB through earnings (mostly FB, I don’t know how they’ll adapt to the new apple privacy policy). Also not a fan of INTC and because of that I’d replace SOX with SMH as well since it doesn’t hold any INTC. Personally I’d replace Intel with QCOM. Furthermore, I’d probably choose either V or MA doesn’t make sense to hold both imo. Other then that your positions seem fine, but I’d look to add GOOGL.

I mean, it will probably be at a level where inflation is back at 2%. One of the big things he emphasized was that future rate hikes would be determined in part by analyzing the effects of the hikes that would have already taken place. "In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on public health, labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments." I think everything falls when the market crashes because people are selling ETFs and entire asset classes. MSFT, AMZN, and AAPL all fell in March 2020, even though all 3 of them were well positioned for the a lockdown.

hey Ackman buy some fucking AMZN you putz

__Captain_Yolo

A month? AMZN is red on the one year you ape

RamboWarFace

The assault on Tech is absurd. This will end up looking like a discount. Multiples on big tech should honestly be going up...not down. Im trading memes for these deals. MSFT 277 was a gift. TSLA under 1200 is a gift and that is after multiple contraction. AMZN and GOOGL and FB are steals rn. AAPL probably makes more money than Denmark.

The market was overpriced, but we had the correction we needed. Companies like NVDA, AMZN, MSFat and TSLA have had double digits corrections. Time to fly fuckers! Russia ain't gonna do shit, and Microsoft proved that valuations aren't all that bad. Can TSLA hit 1100? If it does I get 6 digits! 🤑

Yes AMZN supports Schumer’s bill. AMZN is also endorsing two bills led separately by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) that each would also expunge some marijuana-related crimes, in addition to removing the federal prohibition. AMZN also tapped its in-house lobbyists to work on both bills in the second half of last year, according to disclosure filings

BlitzcrankGrab

Why sell AMZN? It’s such a safe hold

bwoodski

thats a specious argument on the surface. They may beat "actively managed funds" but they dont necessarily beat buyin and hold of great companies. For example, if you bought 3 well researched, solid companies 10 yrs ago (AMZN, FB, OLLI) you would have killed the market. I just picked 3 random companies. You can look back to select other companies with solid book value (net worth) and/or earnings growth (profitable companies) and you will likely see the same trend. Actively managed funds, have a lot of turnover, expenses, and activity for the sake of it.

He sold half of his position because WA state (where he lives) is initiating a 7% capital gains tax on capital gains in excess of $250,000. He obviously sold to avoid this tax which would have been quite substantial for him. No other reason. A lot of old time MSFT, AMZN employees sitting on ton of capital gains & living in WA state took profits last year to avoid the additional state tax. No other reason. He continues to hold the other half. https://www.geekwire.com/2021/satya-nadella-sells-half-his-microsoft-stock-weeks-before-state-implements-new-capital-gains-tax/

Let's go down to 2,000, AMZN! I believe in you!

EtherealDarkness

What happened to AMZN? Why are people selling it? I can't find any info online. Was this forseeable? I think it's should be 4000$, it's now at 2800$.

Makes sense when they are one of the only companies that prints money.. This market is fucked my friend - shit stocks like DKNG who lose billions every year are up 15% while good companies that print money like AMZN and MSFT are lucky to be green.

Hope AMZN craps down to 2700 again. I might actually be green. :O

Lol AMZN gave back a $90 gain at open big money unloading

It’s truly an amazing sight to see AMZN near ITM calls/puts are both red lol

Agreed. Hearing about how AMZN will hit 4000 for like a year now... These high paid professional analysts are the dumb.

It's normal bullshit, jesus christ off the rails since the new year. Everything off, but AMZN seems like hit the hardest of big tech continually. And over the past goddamn year.

MSFT beat is just the first potential momentum shifter, but the overall market sentiment is still very bearish. SO we got a pop on a beat and strong guidance, but we'll need more from JPOW, TSLA, AAPL, GOOG, AMZN, FB over the next 6 trading days to fully reverse. It's still a long shot but step 1 one was positive.

kswissreject

Ha seriously. If AMZN decided to split...but of course that's not happening.

What would happen AMZN AAPL and MSFT all reported on the same day and shattered expectations. What would SPY look like?

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is supporting a House Republican bill introduced in November that leaves cannabis reform up to states and removes it as a Schedule I substance. The bill, the States Reform Act, is sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. It would allow regulation of cannabis in much the same way as alcohol and establish a minimum age of 21 for consumption of marijuana. "There are three things that really bring people together —animals, Britney Spears and cannabis," Mace told Forbes. "Those are the three things I've found that have struck a chord with the American people and that can bring people together at the dinner table — just like apple pie." Mace's bill is viewed as more pro-business and pro-industry compared to legislation introduced by Democrats. For example, her bill proposes a 3% excise tax compared to a 10% tax in Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) bill.

Mike_Ropenis

As a standalone, I 100% agree. I doubt a ton of people enjoy working at MCD or WMT. But when viewed in the larger picture of things: AMZN is profitable and could dump its entire retail division and become 10x more profitable (see AWS growth and numbers). In fact as an AMZN investor I'd rather see them shift away from retail and I'm ok with the rumored Prime membership pricing going up as a result. AWS is going to be their money printer in the future. GME desperately needs its workers in their current model and in their pivot. The average GameStop employee sees no difference in how this new board treats them and won't care to be part of this massive undertaking to turn the ship.

Private_Void

MSFT earnings also bodes well for AMZN. Being in that industry I can confirm the crazy business demand for cloud services.

JackLocke366

Trade I'm thinking about tomorrow. Low Conviction, maybe 1/20th bet, AMZN 3000c 2/11. The thing here is to keep betting small, anticipating AMZN up in two weeks. When this Ukraine thing turns around, you'll be in position, but expect one week it'll zero, next week it might pump so don't push all in at all. If the market is still correcting 2/18, change this trade. Something really bad is going on. If the market does turn around, AMZN typically has wicked high alpha over the short term.

Buffett has spoken about how stupid it is to categorise some stocks as growth stocks and other stocks as value stocks because fair value depends on growth and most value names are value names for a reason. You want growth at a fair price, the problem is most people don't know how to identify what a fair price is for growth because they're comparing metrics directly with relatively stagnant companies. People forget how companies like FB used to trade with a PS in the high teens / low twenties and a PE over 100 during a period when interest rates were much higher. Stock like SHOP trading at a 25 PS and 150ish TTM PE today are just not as expensive or unreasonably priced as some people think. As an investor the biggest mistake I've made is probably not investing in companies like FB, AMZN and NFLX years ago because I was concerned about their valuations. Not only was I wrong about these stocks not justifying their high valuations, I could have never imagined them so significantly outperforming the broader market. In many cases these names could have been 2x more expensive than they were and still have been fantastic investments. I do agree with you that you shouldn't have a portfolio full of growth stocks though and that there is a difference between highly speculative, sometimes pre-revenue investments and growth stocks like SHOP or TDOC. For example a stock like SPCE doesn't even have a proven business model yet and really shouldn't be in the same category as companies like SHOP and NET which I and others use every day professionally. These aren't memes or highly speculative companies yet to prove they have a business but legit companies that are growing fast and offering real value to their users.

Aren't AMZN and GOOG more a value stock nowadays, it's not exactly a growth stock anymore...

And Domino's I was early in AMZN but Domino's still returned better for me. Going in around May 2010 I'm up about 3000% for my original 1400 invest that got me 203 shares. If you want know the investments strategy on this one I was stoned and wanted Domino's for some reason and that somehow morphed to idea that so many other ppl are stoned and order pizza. This a gold mine... forget PE or earning calls.... my thesis was manches for the win.. When I later understood what gold mine this stock was doubled down 200 more shares at 23$. Sold 50% of my shares for 510$ per share last year but still long for Domino's

gqreader

What people are confusing is speculative SPACs and growth stocks with no EBIDTA, with GARP, growth at a reasonable price. It’s a sliding spectrum. Many new investors slid too hard to the high risk high speculative side. True growth at a reasonable price is $GOOG, $MSFT, $AAPL, and what we are tying to find out is if $AMZN still has more of that growth juice wiht it’s e-commerce and AWS + “other” revenue line.

gqreader

Index funds don’t get to choose the weighting of tech stocks. They just rebalance and reflect a market cap weighted representation of the market. Mutual funds can do whatever, yes. $MSFT dipped because they didn’t release guidance until later in the call. When the guidance came out, it went green. I agree with everything else you said, re $AAPL, $AMZN, $TSLA. Rerate could be in the cards depending on the strength of earnings.

kevinwag

I’m a fan of selling puts knowing I’m ok owning at that price. In the red on AMZN and FB puts but ok owning here.

drew-gen-x

I agree with you. I do think that way way too many growth stocks had such crazy valuations that an obvious overcorrection was in the cards. I also believe that after $NFLX earnings disaster a lot of Index Funds and Mutual Funds are starting to realize they might be too overweight tech stocks. That to me explains $MSFT dip after very very good earnings. These funds are looking for reasons to sell and diversify their holdings into other sectors like Energy / Gas and Dividend stocks. It also took me a long time to realize P/E is not a good stock valuation as it is measuring past success when stocks are priced based on future earnings. That's why Forward P/E is MUCH MUCH better stock valuation and why tech stocks have a much higher valuation than Coca-Cola or Walgreens. The problem I have with tech is it was so overvalued after the start of the market freaking out over the Virus that it got to dot com nosebleed levels. That also means there maybe some very good buying opportunities now. But it also means $AAPL, $AMZN, and $TSLA have the potential for a market correction like $NFLX after earnings.
