I find Amazon cheaper and with better quality products than most box stores so I end up ordering from Amazon lots.

You and most other people. and amazon delivers their own stuff. that's why i bought an extra share of AMZN last week.

It's $266 a share now but should hit $300 a share some time in 2027 or sooner https://finviz.com/stock?t=AMZN&ty=c&ta=1&p=d

It's kind of absurd to be that I can order it from Amazon, get it the next day and pay 30% cheaper prices than the store 10 minutes from the house. Why would anyone shop at the store?

Because you’re paying taxes to subsidize every single package they ship. Open your fucking eyes.

Can you explain in detail? Unfortunately, for a lot of quality products, it's amazon or nothing.

[You got it.](https://goodjobsfirst.org/amazon-tracker/) Both in “tax breaks” and in literally directly subsidizing [every single thing they ship.](https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-usps-rural-packages-deliveries-2020-5)

earnings per share are up big this year

long term debt to equity is low

trading at low price to earnings of only 21

dominant market share in not just e-commerce but also advertising and film and streaming and cloud and even wholefoods etc.

gross sales goes up every year, consistently

it's a no brainer stock to put in portfolio for consistent reliable gains. especially if you use it yourself. pay yourself back by owning a few shares.

Amazon is expensive for a lot of molded plastic. All these drop shippers order from Alibaba and list on Amazon for $8 for what they paid $300 for a box of a thousand
