    The only thing that would tank AMZN is if Bezos croaks unexpectedly... and that would (probably) be a buying opportunity. Amazon is going to lead the charge in many subsets of AI. Sky's the limit on this one. And I'm the quintessential bear for the most part.

  2. "real smart people" haha what a croak

    just because amazon has been going up it doesn't make anyone who bought into it is smart; it's been an 8 year bull market! a literal ponzi scheme induced by the fed

    @Tim Smith Is options trading the only thing in financial market? Nice to know that this forum is full of REAL smart people. Well, I'll take your advice of not taking up any options. I'm a technical analysis who according to you 'completely and utterly loose track of what actually drives stock value', so my questions in this forum doesn't carry any value.
    I'm going with @recession2016 about the ponzi scheme started by FED.
    I'll do my homework and come back to the REAL SMART people in this forum in 2 years time or even earlier.

    Thanks for all the advise.

    Hi Abooz!

    I trade options for about 1 year. It's not an easy understanding, but if you study you can become an excellent trader buying or selling (spreads, etc). I suggest you join a course before trading options because of the many details and rules to follow before setting up a trade... But bro, I love it and it has changed my life! Don't be influenced bu others, Options trading takes your trading skills to the next level and creates a path to your financial freedom if you really put effort on it. Good Luck!

    So let me get this straight. You think that people who bought Amazon 8 years ago, in an 8-year bull market, and watched Amazon climb God-knows-how-much per share, made the wrong choice?

    What about the people who bought Amazon in the middle of 1997 was it, when they went public? $2 per share or something?

    So...

    People who went long Amazon at $2 per share 20 years ago, made a mistake by going long in Amazon? AMZN has been going up, over a long term, since it's inception. It is at $840 something per share currently, and that is including it's previous splits from years ago.

    Shorting the stock may be a viable option in the here and now. But let's face it. You are just jealous that you missed the boat on the long, and are trying to pull some old Yahoo forum subterfuge to try to drive the stock price down, perhaps. I used to see this often on the Yahoo! finance forums.

    You're a jamoke. Please, here; Have a steaming hearty cup of STFU, free of charge.

  8. you're an idiot; i never said they made the wrong choice; i said buying amazon and making money on the stock as it goes up doesn't make a person smart

    any monkey could've bought amazon and held it until now

    Then I will be first in line to be on that monkey train!

    When YOU tell me that buying a stock and watching it go up means I am not smart, feed me the bananas please!!!

    (Counter-question. If I buy the stock and it goes down, does that also mean I am smart? Or am I not smart?)
