Dividend investors would not touch the stock. Speculators kept risking capital in the stock and many got burned with a few making out big. But that is a common story of any volatile stock that is part of the rigged Wall St casino.
Now AMZN goes brick and mortar like Sears and they will end up like Sears because their CIA central bank connections will dry up when the Trump movement defeats the Davos gang.
Trump cancelled the AMZN AWS CIA contracts. He very much disliked Bezos and his rigged cheating game.
It's important to understand that there are many smart retailers, not just AMZN. But other retailers didn't have tens upon tens of billions in CIA contracts like AMZN had been served on a silver platter. If that kind of largesse had been available to say Coastal Farm & Ranch, AMZN could have been a dud many years ago.
I invested in AMZN in the 2000s and had a short term capital gain but I never trusted the stock because of the nagging question asked by all "Why invest in a stock that doesn't make a profit?" So it was left to speculators.
But now AMZN is out of ideas. They go downhill from here unless propped up by their Davos connections. But that won't last long because the Davos gang will go down with the CCP in the years ahead.
The point of this thread is to discuss a piece that calls Bezos a visionary. That's nothing but chatter among a sycophantic press. He's not a visionary anything. He's a CIA stooge connected to the Baphomet group in Davos. Forget him.
