    Amazon could hit a $1 trillion market cap in 12 months, tech analyst says

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:14 AM PST

    Amazon could hit $1 trillion in market cap in the next 12 to 18 months, analyst Dan Ives said Monday.

    The GBH Insights analyst raised the price target for the e-commerce giant to $1,850 from $1,500.

    "The Prime membership moat that [CEO Jeff] Bezos & Co. have built is gaining further steam in the field, and the Amazon 'flywheel effect' is further playing out globally among consumers," Ives said in a note.

    "The Bezos strategic path, both on the consumer and enterprise fronts, are still in the middle innings of playing out and Amazon remains a 'green light' name to own at these levels," he said.

    Amazon's "1-2 punch" of consumer retail growth and Amazon Web Services — combined with Whole Foods tailwinds and a push into healthcare — could push the company past the milestone, Ives said.

    Note: Amazon like it namesake river could become the largest company in history of business by 2030 with an unprecedented $2 Trillion stock market capitalization (stock value). Long Live Amazon!

    My Portfolio

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:00 PM PST

    Good evening everyone, the time has come where I am now wondering if you guys would mind providing me some opinions, insight, and critique of my portfolio. I've been investing for nearly 3 years now but the last year I've been seriously going at it, researching as much as I can and contributing roughly 25% of my income towards retirement planning. Here's my portfolio broken down by holding and percentages (rounded to nearest 1/2 % point) for reference:

    Vanguard Healthcare Fund (VGHCX) - 15% Vanguard Small Cap Fund (VSTCX) - 7% Vanguard US Growth Fund (VWUSX) - 11% Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) - 5% Vanguard Industrials ETF (VIS) - 8.5% Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC) - 2.5% Vanguard Info Tech ETF (VGT) - 2.5% Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ) - 3.5% Global X Robotics (BOTZ) - 2.5% Vanguard Target Retirement Fund - 12.5% Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) - 7% Apple (AAPL) - 3.5% Store Capital (STOR)- 4% Waste Management (WM) - 2% UPS (UPS) - 2% McDonalds (MCD) - 2% Shopify (SHOP) - 3.5% Visa (V) - 4% Omeros Corp (OMER) - 1% 22nd Century (XXII) - 1%

    I try to diversify myself with several sector ETFs. The reason for simply not going with something like VTI is because there are some sectors I'd rather avoid right now as I'm young, holding long term, and won't be touching this money for quite awhile so I'm more open for risk. This has resulted me being fairly heavy in tech, healthcare, and industrial with virtually nothing in basic materials, utilities, or telecommunications.

    In addition to the ETFs and healthcare fund, I choose two other mutual funds that provide some balance/diversity yet are still aggressive. As you can see bonds make up very little of my holdings (roughly 1.5% only due to my target fund). I also hold roughly a handful of companies that I feel are solid, wall ran, and capable of modest yet solid growth. My last two holdings shown here are my risky stocks which I consider no more than gambles thus making up less than 3% of my portfolio. Both have been losses thus far for what it's worth, although I haven't sold anything yet with them.

    My plan is basically keep on trucking along with a similar path. The only additions I hope to make before year end are Microsoft, Amazon, and possibly something international related as foreign stocks/companies only make up 12% of my portfolio right now. Besides that I'll do some minor ETF buying to balance and keep most of my contributions to my US Growth and Target Funds which have been killing it the past 1.5 years.

    So what do you all think? Am I decent for someone planning to hold most of these holdings 5, 10, 20 years out? Too many companies or too diverse? Not diverse enough? Genius or stupidity? Let's hear it, folks. Thanks everyone!

    Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is systematically unloading his AMZN holdings

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 04:25 PM PST

    I thought this was pretty interesting...since 2006, Jeff Bezos has been systematically selling Amazon common stock into the open market. It seems to be mostly in accordance with his 10b5-1 trading plan, as I can see by looking at a random sample of the massive amount of form 4's filed since 2006, but to me it was interesting nonetheless.

    Here is a chart of Amazon's TTM revenue since 2005, and his common stock holdings over a similar period.

    In contrast, Senior Vice President Jeff Blackburn has been systematically exercising his options to buy and converting restricted stock units into common stock, increasing his holdings five-fold over a similar period.

    Keep in mind that AMZN stock has risen meteorically since 2006, so the overall holdings in monetary value of Bezos and Blackburn have increased dramatically, but still ... any thoughts on what this might mean, if anything? Could it signify that Blackburn has more faith in the future of the company than Bezos himself?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:24 AM PST

    Hi,

    I am trying to figure out if there is a way to identify what new is an Ad and what is real. I have also heard that there are some news articles that have a bias towards a company and will write to give it hype or in its favor, is this true and how could I spot it before reading it?

    Simulations Plus (SLP)- Very odd observations

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:23 AM PST

    I was looking the historical prices for SLP and starting around October 2016 the price almost always ends with a 5 or 0. To me, that seems statistically very unlikely. Can anybody explain this to me?

    It's unethical, invidious discrimination for business to use discounts to favor NRA members over non-members. Boycott Fed-X, which, unlike most businesses--the responsible ones--continues to refuse to end its criminal support for the NRA and its members.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 04:07 PM PST

    Fed-X stock will crash soon. Investors would be wise to dump their stock before the further dive.

    Question about TD Ameritrade: I am a newbie

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:15 AM PST

    I have never invested before, I'm a college student, and I figured I want to start investing about $50-$100 a month in stock or mutual fund. Any advice would be appreciated, but I do have one specific question:

    When signing up for TD Ameritrade, is there a monthly or quarterly cost for just having an account, or will they only charge me when I make a trade? I just want to make an account to get familiar with the platform and watch some stocks, but I want to be sure they won't be charging me just for that. I have tried to Google this but the answers all seem really unclear to me.
