AMZN

Working-Math-9610

When you write AMZN is 2T, it's just the price at which the last two people traded the shares, multiplied by number of shares issued by the company. So, market cap can be very misleading with illiquid, thin volume products

Ppl who think bitcoin is going to 200k + don’t understand the law of large numbers. That’s 2 trillion in new worth. That’s an entire AMZN, 2/3rds AAPL Bitcoin may very well grow at 10-15 percent , but the yearly doubles are over

I’d only consider AMZN, the others are just too expensive

Lots of “mights,” (with barely an ounce of reasoning), but you completely lost me with AMZN… they literally have $70 billion net cash on the balance sheet; they don’t need to take on debt any more than AAPL. They may choose to, but they don’t need to…

Such_Region2724

she can't afford them anymore. zoom out. she's buying the first result under 20 bucks when she searches "lululemon leggings knockoff 5 stars" on AMZN.

Mundane_Life_5775

What if the intent was to generate free float for the issuer? Ps whilst V/MA fell, AMZN didn’t go anywhere either.

Impressive-Joke-3119

Puts on AMZN. It's pretending 55% tariffs on China isn't happening and 🥭 is bullying them into not passing over increased costs to customers (lol how?).

Disastrous-Wheel-658

Just thoughts and not financial advise. 1. SOFI and HIMS Covered Call is looking good. 2. The GOOG and the GOOGL although looks good at the moment. In general these could be loosing trades in long term. Similar sentiment for AMZN. In short terms you will make money. But in long term a collection of such bets will not get you anywhere. 3. Instead of NVDA 30 get a pack of 100 of some similar share and do call sell.

UnfazedBrownie

The drop is a good pickup opportunity. The stable coin approach has been tried and already exists in a different form (see TGT red card as someone pointed out). If WMT or AMZN tried this, you need to keep in mind the level and difficulty of adoption. WMT has an app and could force you to use their stable coin to fund the purchase. But could this seriously lead to large adoption rates?

Now do the PE ratios of those companies and then compare them to NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, GOOG etc. You will notice something.

You can also decide what you believe as this is how the stock market or value/growth investing works. I know that Ryan Cohen is an enterpreneur who got rich because he built up an Ecom company (I'm an Ecom exec on my own) at a young age which was competing with AMZN, which is a big thing. He knows how to build, he is not a Ponzi Saylor who sells people the dream of neverending BTC returns. Ryan is raising money so he can buy/invest into comoanies which either fit into gamestops operating model, extending it or help to transform it into a holding. That's his core expertise. He has now a vehicle with cash which he can use to invest/built/optimize companies.

No, if AMZN is under 210 you will be assigned at market close. If AMZN is above 210 you keep the entire premium as profit

pigeon_shit

Firstly - I am regarded. Please give grace. I have a CSP on AMZN expiring today at 210 strike. AMZN was at 209 and change earlier, but over 210 now. Does this auto execute? Do I now own the shares?

It’s frustrating but you can buy American listed companies in Germany such as AMZN goog and msft

_hiddenscout

Stable coin news: >The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), and other multinational companies have explored whether to issue their own stablecoins in the U.S. to get around traditional payment restrictions and offer the possibility for a quicker process

yellowLantern

I mean, I ain't buying a Walmart/AMZN specific stablecoin just to shop there unless there was an enormous incentive. I absolutely do not see the older generation being able to set up digital wallets to do so. Feel like this is a temporary dip, good buying opportunity.

I think its around this: > Visa (V), MasterCard (MA) and American Express (AXP) down 2.2%, 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively, after The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), and other multinational companies have explored whether to issue their own stablecoins in the U.S. to get around traditional payment restrictions and offer the possibility for a quicker process

jonneh

Can’t wait to pay all my huzz in my own stable coin which they will then have to exchange at Walmart for WMT coins and Amazon for AMZN coins for their purchases You’re welcome bishes

Rest of my port is: 1. AMZN 2. META 3. NVDA 4. GOOG 5. UNH You?

Bought more BROS, SMCI, AMZN, NFLX, MSTR, APPL, NVDA on WEBULL overnight. Cheers all

So both of their militaries definitely use AWS, right? (Totally not holding AMZN calls or anything)

At least it’s AMZN which will go back up

Educational_Peak_770

I don’t get it, you’re long on AMZN what’s the issue? I have $500K of AMZN as part of my RSU package working at AWS, just hold.

brucebrowde

No, I'm not asking you about the returns, that's exactly the shortsightedness I'm trying to point out. I'm asking you about your decision making process. Everyone thinks "I 2x my account, that's awesome". No, it's not awesome. Not by a long shot. You were *lucky* that the market went up like crazy and a lot of things doubled. You actually did pretty bad, because AMZN is one of the worst performers among the tech companies. Vast majority of people who say they can pick stocks are fooling themselves. It's all luck. There was no reason not to pick AMZN, because it's an awesome company - as shown by it doubling its value - but if you're happy with such picks, sooner than later your luck will run out and you'll start picking things that are outright bad - you may even pick stocks so bad like DBX or INTC.

Rav_3d

My long-term holds in AMZN, META, GOOGL, NOW, VRTX, LLY, and many others have significantly outperformed the S&P 500. I'm not suggesting to put all one's portfolio in individual stocks, but with a portion of one's funds, it can generate significant wealth. For most people, ETFs are the way. For those who have a passion for investing, able to identify great companies, buy their stocks at appropriate times, manage risk, and sit tight when things are working, the results can be extremely rewarding. Clearly, you're not one of those people, which is fine. Most aren't.

kswissreject

Clearly I should have bought MSFT instead of AMZN or GOOG

ButterPotatoHead

UNH isn't a defensive growth stock it's now a turnaround story. Scandals in leadership, dirty business, Medicare fraud, etc. I worry that INTC is dead money and there are so many other ways to invest in semiconductors and the AI trend. I personally would not invest in NVDA but there are other chip companies, ASML, etc. Don't forget that semiconductors have historically been a very cyclical and boom-or-bust business. I think this is a hard place to invest in with a "set it and forget it" investment. I think tech stocks are hard to pick for these reasons so I invest in QQQ. If I had to pick a few tech stocks I'd pick AMZN just because it is not constrained by any one industry or product, GOOG because I think it is the cheapest of all tech stocks. Uber will be affected by robotaxis and it isn't clear to me that they'll be a leader in that. For renewable power I prefer to invest in the renewable power generators themselves like BEP.

Codywalkerjr

Pretty easy to outperform the S&P 500, if you buy at the right time, and don't panic sell. Some Individual stocks are a lot more volatile so you'll see a lot more up and down. Personally for individual stocks I like PM, RSG, AMZN, GOOG. I bought a lot of Tesla when it was down the other day and panic sold, if I would have held it for a few days I would have been up 5%

brucebrowde

Damn, look at your picks. AAPL, AMD, crypto, NIO. Biggest company on earth that's also in tech, AMD just happening to get a momentum on Intel at that right time, crypto which nobody normal considers "investment" and NIO which is a shit fluffed up pump company similar to GME and TSLA. Like those are the epitome of luck! How can you not see how unicorn you are in that regard? You really think there are not thousands of other traders that read exactly the same posts you did and picked something else because all readings are equally probable when you don't have insider information? Also, you understand that with a small account everything is easier? The more you grow, the easier it is to lose a lot. The first 10 years of trading mean nothing, because if you get to $1M after 10 years and then have a 10% loss, that's basically the first 9 years of gains combined. Of course AMZN and NVDA are not similar, but they are both behemoths, that was my point. NVDA's 14x run is insane for such a big company. Nobody expected that and whoever tells you they did is full of it. Whoever 14x their wealth by buying NVDA did it by pure luck. There are many people that are successful. However, there are few that are consistently successful - and vast majority of these are gambling. Like look at you - trading a few trades a year and thinking that since you did it "for years" makes such trading "consistent". What makes you think your picks are due to you being good at reading and not being at the right place at the right time? What makes you think you can correctly recognize all the "signals" like stock will get hyped up a month before it happens, fundamentals making the stock a good buy (or a good sell), which blue chip is going to rip (NVDA) and which will be way less lucrative (AMZN), that you won't lose 50% of your account because you gambled on BTC at the wrong time, etc.? Hell, what makes you think you are even always reading the right posts and not missing a ton of other posts that say exactly the opposite?

shut-down-corner

You got the right idea. It's totally OK to invest in individual stocks if you understand your risk tolerance. Your covered with the 401k so you can expand into individual equities and not worry about the Reddit crowd. My personal stocks for the next few years, making the ones i probably will be holding without taking profits abs adding to on pullbacks: . NVDA CRWD AMZN UBER BA Good luck and stick with your own convictions.

shasta747

Long AMZN regards, MAGE cucks are boycotting Walmart, shop at Wholefoods instead LMAO

Embarrassed_Durian17

It's not the premium i want specifically. It's the dividends on the total cash amount I want. I sold these when AMZN was $205 for $41 in premium, giving me a cost basis of $199. If I hold until expiry, I'll receive about $3000 in dividends roughly $10 a share, so I'll only be leaving money on the table if it's above $256 at expiry. Premium plus dividends for the year is roughly $15500.

Cantthinkofacoolnam

You should see how much Meta and AMZN has sold. Insiders selling means nothing. Insiders buying is what you have to pay attention to.

Embarrassed_Durian17

I did it this way because I wanted to buy the shares, but I also wanted some income on the side to help with expenses and the like. I have portfolio margin, so instead of buying 300 shares at $205 for $61500, I sold these to collect the extra premium and put that premium into TBIL. I fully intend to be assigned to these and buy the shares. Until that time, i'm getting 4.6% per year in dividends on the full $70000, unless AMZN blows past $240, this beats out just buying the stock in terms of total return and offers some slight downside protection.

brucebrowde

Of course it's great on its own, but compared to 1383% it very much isn't. If you bought AMZN and then saw NVDA 10x that, would you be happy?

Unique_Zucchini1041

AMZN calls are fucken cooked

SuspiciousStable9649

Technically I’m concerned that the market will diddle with the price enough to make me bail out at a loss. Not AMZN concern, but market concern.

MaxDragonMan

Yup. Heck, AMZN and META may even be swapped in terms of order depending on whether you think AWS has a bigger moat than Facebook does. Point being, you may as well sell the riskiest / most overvalued ones first.

MaxDragonMan

TSLA, AAPL, AMZN, META in that order, personally.

Latter-Trip7630

lmao fu\*\* AMZN i realized a godamn 8k loss what a POS. out of all the stocks i had the pick the wrong one

GetCashQuitJob

This is not a good day to have a AAPL, AMZN, BRK.B, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA portfolio.

alinford

I need to make a payment on something, and must sell some stock to do that Assuming tax implications are equal which would you sell? AAPL AMZN META TSLA

Me-Regarded

AMZN too strong to care about crayon lines

Impressive-Joke-3119

Does AMZN's chart count as a double top? Meh, calls.

SuspiciousStable9649

AMZN was my horse and her leg is broke.

GoldenEelReveal76

The deal is so bad that it is crushing NVDA, AAPL, and AMZN.

Longjumping-Tone-623

I bought back in slowly over March, April and May. Mostly back into big tech like MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, GOOG and some risky ones like SOFI, RKLB, HIMS etc. Still holding some cash but overall I'm happy with how I've reallocated my money. I wish I had bought more NVDA though. It's my best performing stock so far. Big takeaway for next time is to not freak out when others are losing their shit. People over here were convinced apocalypse is upon us. In their defense, the macro outlook hasn't changed. The deficit is still an issue but I'm glad I talked myself out of doing something stupid like selling all my holdings are putting it in HYSA but I could be proven wrong. Time will tell.

Affectionate-Day2743

sounds like something a republican would say. why then, pray tell, are TGT, COST, AMZN also down bad today? is it because their heirs are encouraging citizens to attend protests?

TheComicSocks

If you don’t mind me asking, what does your portfolio look like right now then? In other words, curious to knoe your avg cost, unrealized return, your schedule, and how long you’ve been doing this. I just want an idea of the gains I cna expect to see if I took my $4k and put most of it into ETFs. My gains now (ticker, shares, U. Return): - COKE, 12.6, +64% - NBIS, 24.8, +39% - AMZN, 5.7, +37% - RBLX, 6.2, +17.97% - RIVN, 4, +0.10% - ZOMDC, 4228, —82.57%

jamtradez

$TLN & $OKLO are some energy companies that are simply killing it today. So much more room left to run on $AMZN & DOD contracts respectively

IllUpvoteEverything

Did someone forget to tell AMZN, META, and GOOG that we're green today?

XxVarolzxX

AMZN pls use that regard strength I know you have and break $220

degenforlife69

AAPL and AMZN hitting the buy limits of the boomers.

TizzyHizzy

> Institutional managers collectively shed 8.4 billion shares across Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), and A-class shares of Google parent company Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) during the first quarter. 👀

VegasWorldwide

close to 13% YTD overall mainly from buying the dips in April like NVDA at $85, META @ $495, $COIN for $150, GOOG at $143, AMZN for $160 and of course VOO at $444. The growth in late April through today has been something I never expected. Reddit posts were saying it was going to take years to get back to ATH's. I will admit with growth this fast, today I shaved some profits, about 7% worth and placed it in SGOV.

barrythemelonkid

ha ha You know bro Bought puts on AAPL and AMZN; they’ve dropped 55%, and they’re not happy about it.

My take.. Trim half of HOOD, OKLO and HIMS. Trim some NVDA. Sell all TSLA, Hold GOOG and AMZN. Put some in SPY/QQQ if it dips next couple months.

Maybe a big buyer playing the price manipulation game to get in on AMZN buying their trucks? Maybe AMZN is making a big purchase of RIVN?

You seem to have completely missed the $10M part. With your attitude, you'll maybe get steady 5% a year or whatever - and that's fine. You just won't be even remotely close to the "I bought TSMC in 2019 and I 4x my investment in 6 years" territory. How do you know something is "hyped up"? How do you know the hype won't break tomorrow and instead of your predicted +10% it goes -10%? I have to be hypothetical since we're not discussing anything remotely concrete here. Feel free to chime in with whatever concrete examples you have in mind and we can discuss those. You can definitely find good picks, what you cannot do is *consistently* do that. You can get lucky a few or even a few dozen times - anyone with two brain cells can understand that's how probabilities work, but human nature forces us to believe that's not the case and so many fall into that "I'm good at picking stocks" trap which in reality is "I just got lucky". That can happen in so many obvious ways - you're in a bull market so every stock pick works like it did in 2020, you happen to pick the theme that's good (technology these days), you happen to be lucky to "predict" something like TSLA doubling in Oct/Nov because Elon decided to go into politics - but you will still reject the reality it's all luck and continue to think you're good at it. The difference between two people with very similar stock picks can be staggering. E.g. someone into tech could have picked AMZN or NVDA in 2019. In 2023, the first pick would yield 102%, the second 1383%. Both are great companies to invest in, but one has to be lucky to pick the right one. What were 2019-2023 returns that you made with your "natural noticing" skill picks?

I used to buy highly profitable stocks on dips, to swing trade a profit target of 10-15%. My confidence these companies would recover was very high as it was usually macro issues that brought the stock down, not micro. I never bought the ones that suffered a major downturn due to micro issues as it was much more of risk they could recover. As time went on, I started to realize these companies tend ot increase over time and I'm just capturing very small slices of those gains - why not capture all of them? I switched to going long term, taking the pain of major market downturns, feeling confident the long run would be a brighter day. I can't remember if it was Buffet or Lynch (or perhaps both) who said sometimes the best stock to buy is the one you already own. Meaning if you found a winner, and it keeps winning, it's a good idea to add more shares. So instead of pocketing gains at 5% here, 15% there; my individual holdings have gains in the xx% xxx% and x,xxx%. When you look at long term trajectory of stocks like AMZN MSFT MCD HD GOOGL AAPL, these companies were already well known, household names before their bigget gains (by market cap) were to occur (for example AAPL was no secret at $500b valuation and it went on to go up another 5-6x times to $3t+).
