Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)

You can buy an initial half-position now. Id it doubles, don't buy more. If it comes down, buy more. Has had wild price swings lately. Online revenue is growing 17%. They're trying to expand outside the U.S. but face rivals. They also face competition from MSFT in cloud services and now from IBM with their Red Hat purchase. Be careful with Amazon. This could easily fall 30%, so own half a position now.

They've had a rough few days after reporting last week. They're starting to report earnings regularly, so investors can now put multiples on them. Their 56x 2019 earnings are too rich for him. It's trading at 19x book. A great company and will do very well across different ventures. Still too pricey for him, but it's getting reasonable.

This is for growth-oriented investors that look into the future. The company is still rolling up industry after industry after industry. Now the largest company in the world by market cap. Jeff Bezos is young. He thinks that he will drive the company to highs that we are yet to see. They are competing in the computer space.

The last FANG stock that's still rising. Lock in some profits and see how the rest of your shares do. If there's a bear market, because this will go down, because its valuation is very high.

He continues to recommend holding this. They are changing how things are done in the world. They have above 20% ROE and growth in revenues. They recommend it as a buy.

All tech HAS pulled back in the past two weeks. It's a secular leader in a secular theme. Give it the benefit of the doubt. Amazon is nowhere close to stopping its momentum.

He sold it this summer due to FANG concerns. It's had a great run in recent years. He had feared it could fall below $1,800, though a push to the upside is still possible. Maybe sell half and put a stop at the current level.

AMAZON or GOOGLE? Neither. As a value investor, he can't justify the high valuations of the FANG stocks. Value will become more important in the coming years. Momentum has had its day. These stocks can be vulnerable.

It is a great company. He is a value investor so does not over pay for what people are predicting in the future. They have razor thin margins. He thinks today the company has to be perfect going forward to justify this price.

Amazing company to watch to see how it went from selling books to basically everything and eventually run everything given the way it goes. As long as the investors agree with management to look at growth as opposed to short-term earnings and cash flow then they will continue to execute their strategy and disrupt areas. He thinks that a risk is if they fail in one or two areas they enter. That would be the time to take a second look.

She is a value-based investor and it is hard to justify the valuation of Amazon at this level. Everyone who has owned Amazon has done well. The company keeps finding new areas to grow into, which is essential for a momentum-driven stock.

In the short term, their earnings will be the biggest factor to watch. He would consider getting into it before the earnings report. Longer term, it is a great holding as it is a real “interrupting” company.

This is the iconic company of the 21st century. You can't have a discussion about retail without talking about Amazon. However, the debate inside his company is whether this great company is a great stock. It is hard to measure its profitability now and in its future, and therefore hard to determine whether its price is high or low. They don't make a profit, they may never pay dividends or buy back shares. Normally, shareholders buy a stock to gain a piece of the company's profits, which come back to the shareholder in some way. Amazon operates outside of this model. The jury is out, for him, as to whether this is a good stock or not.
