Prime memberships provide nice recurring revenue stream. Investing in AI, which will benefit retail. Very well run and focused. Hasn't fully recovered from fears of tariffs impacting volumes.
In her firm's growth equity fund. But the pullback is prompting her to consider it for segregated accounts.
Since mid-May this has formed a golden cross (the 50-day moving average crosses the 200-day) based on a solid uptrend. The MACD momentum line now shows a buy signal. Also, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures buying and selling pressure, and it's positive (the buyers haven't gone anywhere). Trading volumes remain strong. Prime Day is in full swing now, though Wall Street could be disappointed with sales numbers (he thinks it's too soon to tell). Lang targets $260-270, though he doubts that.

Yes, those earnings were disappointing. Still came ahead of what was expected, but not to the same tune as MSFT's or GOOG's. Just a matter of time before it ramps up again. Will continue spending on data centres, and this will pay off.

This is the one of the group that's going to do the best going forward. With an understanding of tariffs going forward, AMZN will price accordingly; so the e-commerce side of the business will be more refined and its outlook better. No dividend.
