re: Is there any downside to buying Amazon right now? Is there really a ceiling?Posted by fallguy_1978 on 4/26/18 at 3:17 pm to YoungManOldMan
I own some Amazon stock. My only fear is that they get too big and are broken up with an antitrust lawsuit.

They don't even have a majority of the market share of e-commerce (let alone all commerce), and it's basically one big marketplace for both buyers and sellers. They do have a majority of the market share in cloud services, but that's a rapidly growing area anyways and Google, Microsoft, etc. aren't some weak competitors that they can squash.

Even then there is a lot more than just being huge and dominant tonmeetwthe antitrust standards.
I'm just curious what they have planned for HQ2 and where it's going to be--especially since I live in a finalist location.

It was painful for a little while, but today is the day.
Throughout Feb and March I sold other positions and redeployed into Amazon.
Now I am debating cashing out a large portion of that position and rediversifying the portfolio.

looks like a bunch of people are taking profits.
I don't have enough shares to lay that game, in it for the long run.

I had to make sure I wasn’t on the poli board or something.

I've been a Prime user since 2008 (according to Amazon). With that said, in light of the announced fee increase, I'm going to have a hard time justifying renewing at the end of the year. With expanded offers of free shipping from other retailers, most major libraries offering free e-book loans, and competition from Hulu/Netflix/HBO/Starz in the streaming arena, $120 a year is a bit steep.
I can't imagine I'm the only person that will be seriously considering how much I want to stay invested in the Amazon ecosystem.

Most people will be too lazy to look into alternatives and by the time they start thinking about it, auto-renewal would have already hit
I disagree. Prime just makes it so easy. I don’t have to go to target for some things and another retailer for other things. We use amazon for everything and Shipt for groceries and cleaning supplies.
