    AMAZON:
    +Yep, I bought a ton on the dip.

    Amazon invested $14 billion in the last quarter alone, the same as it spent in 6 months before that. It is a do not sell stock.

    …With the Delta virus coming at full speed ahead, pandemic sales will make a comeback.

    Amazon is investing so much money, that no competitor will ever be able to catch up.

    My strategy is if Amazon keeps going down, I buy more to average cost down..
    I buy using money on the sideline, then I sell other stocks that are up, then I sell other stocks that have lost less than Amazon’s -7.5%. Most stocks that pop or

    drop hard usually recover 50% soon after.
    Amazon’s not going anywhere so I know that eventually it will come back.
    Fidelity considers Amazon as a large growth company (probably because as big as it is, it still only has 7% of the retail market)

    =Have you noticed that Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, CNBC, CNN and bloomberg hate tech (even though most of us have 401k plans that have big tech) and push crypto crap, NFT ponzi scheme, and meme/gambling stocks like AMC/gamestop/SPAC, promoting China, and scaring investors by promoting inflation?
    For the fools that bought crypto in May 2021, they’ve lost -50% as of July 2021, even worse if you bought dodgecoin -80%!
    +I bought FAANG stocks (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft) …
    ___Disney, Wells Fargo for the recovery.

    A decade ago, China cracked down on Facebook for spreading fake news. Today, China’s decision is turning out to be prescient. China’s political will to crack down on the social ills and social inequality caused by big tech and big biz will be emulated by other countries. In sharp contrast, the US is unable to rein in big tech and big biz.
