re: Amazon Stock

I am no expert - but I do live in Seattle and it's incredible how much they've grown over the last few years. I considered getting in at $900 but chickened out only to get in a bit later at $1370.

I'm holding long term. Amazon has re-defined how consumers shop and continues broadening their services. How much would you pay for Amazon Prime? They just raised the rates recently and I didn't bat an eye. I'd probably pay $200/year for the convenience Amazon offers me - though that's probably because Seattle is ground zero for all the newest services.

Amazon has a ton of ideas in the hopper right now currently in development. I don't see any reason why they won't continue innovating. Maybe sell a few shares to diversify, but I would not advise dumping them all, tempting as that may be.
