NASDAQ:AMZN
AMZN vs. COST vs. WMT Costco has a good management team, good long-term grower, make strategic, smart decisions. Walmart just jumps around too much. They should stick to their knitting, but instead management is always trying to play catch up in different arenas. But, quite frankly, the one to own in this space is Amazon.
(A Top Pick Aug 19/19, Up 65%) It continues to invest money at very high rates of return and enjoys opportunity in retail and cloud, both of which will grow. It still trades at a reasonable valuation on a free cash flow basis. They're attracting ad revenue to rival its peers like Google. Buy this on a pullback.
Stock's done well. He took profits. One concern is it's expensive to its peer group. Momentum is behind the stock. Alibaba is one to consider, at only 30x PE, with a 20-25% growth rate.
Amazon vs. Apple He owns Apple. The companies are completely different. Apple's ecosystem will continue to dominate. Amazon's valuation is excessive, but the growth justifies the stock price. Sometimes you hold your nose and buy, say, half a position. Buy, hold and don't trade. Add on weakness. (Same with Microsoft and Google.) Amazon will continue to take share from brick-and-mortar retailers. Just look at how often you shop Amazon.
