A lot of negativity around Amazon isn't specific to Amazon. Rather, the tech companies are coming under scrutiny for anti-trust. He doesn't know how this will play out. He owns Google and MSFT instead, but keep your eye on Amazon, which are so disrupted. Also, their fundamentals keep improving, reinvesting constantly to be disruptive.
Sell Amazon and Apple now? The stock has stagnated the past two years, but it makes more money. Apple keeps investing in near projects, which is a good sign. Hold onto both of them for the long haul. He owns a lot of each.
Will the U.S. DOJ break up Amazon and other tech companies? That's a VERY long process. It took 10 years in the case of Microsoft. A complicated process. Is Amazon hurting consumers? No. Consumers are getting cheap goods conveniently. In Amazon's favour, they still make up a small part of the retail landscape. A caveat: a protracted battle against the DOJ could stifle Amazon's growth and distract them from progressing.
