Amazon isn't a book seller

+1.86%

Many (most) computer companies (DELL, IBM, HP, etc) are slowly waking up to the new way that computing is being delivered - via the "cloud" - but Amazon has been pioneering for this for many years. With Amazon's experience and scale, it's going to be very hard for new entrants to compete (MSFT and ORCL for example), except at the higher Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) levels. By the end of this year, expect the market to wake up to the fact that Amazon has become not just the way things are sold, but also the way information is computed and distributed. (Remember that CEO Jeff Bezos is a Compu...

Wall Street's Presidents' Day Sale: Amazon.com (AMZN)
AMZN
+25.39%
in
138 days
Filed under: Amazon.com (AMZN), Stocks to Buy  Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) cheap?
The stock is trading in the mid-$60s, and it's almost doubled off its November low. But Amazon has reached far higher -- around $100 in October 2007, and $110 going back to 1999. More importantly, AMZN is emerging as a retail leader in a lousy economy. Its Web traffic blew away the competition during the crucial holiday season, and its most-recent earnings number crushed expectations by 33%. Put simply, Amazon.com has figured out how to grow the top and bottom lines in a terrible environment. <><>Continue reading <>W...

Wall Street's Presidents Day Sale
AMZN
+24.00%
in
139 days
Filed under: Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Estee Lauder (EL), Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), Stocks to Buy  Sure, Presidents Day is supposed to celebrate two of the United States' greatest leaders, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but that's not what usually happens on the holiday.
What comes to mind when you think of Presidents Day? Sadly, after Washington and Lincoln, it's mattress sales or furniture bargains. (Car sales are off the radar this year, for obvious reasons.) Not very dignified, but that's just the way it goes. Continue reading Wall Street's Presidents Day Sale <><>Wall Street's Pr...

Filed under: Amazon.com (AMZN), S and P 500, Stocks to Buy  This post is part of a series featuring bargain stocks that are worth a look now. See more Cheap Stocks.
In my opinion, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has two major fundamental advantages. First, we're talking about a dot-com company that survived the dot-com bubble. This is an impressive achievement, on par with Julia Louis-Dreyfus finding success with a second sitcom after Seinfeld. <>Second, I caught a bit of Oprah recently when I was home sick with a head cold. Her special guest was Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, and the topic of the day was ho...

Bookkeeping: Adding to Apple (AAPL). Amazon.com (AMZN), Adobe (ADBE) Breaking Out

We've been talking about buying strong charts and anything starting with the letter "A" in technology is now moving - even Agilent Technologies (A)?
We mentioned last week we'd increase exposure in Apple on a move above $170 or its 50 day moving average. While I feel like I am going to somehow get burnt on this trade, I am sticking to my "system" and adding Apple (AAPL) here north of $171. We've taken it up to 3.3% of the portfolio. I'd like to see it clear low $180s which is old resistance to get real constructive - again I am still a bit uneasy here - we will need the market to remain b...

In August 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a 24-month program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of Amazon common stock from which they repurchased 8.2 million shares for $252 million in 2006 and 6.3 million shares for $248 million in Q1 2007.
