On the cusp of Amazon earning release, here’s another one of a million ways Amazon can win:
Use data from AWS to inform investment decisions
Amazon can leverage its proprietary data from AWS (Amazon Web Services). Amazon’s edge is that most of the best technology start-ups are built on its services. Amazon has a lot of information about how much these companies are spending, what services they use, what technologies they use, and more.
The AWS data could be extremely predictive and give Amazon early signs that companies are growing fast or reaching an inflection point. And it can use the data as a better diligence check of a company … for instance, the data could help determine which companies that claim they have “AI” are real and which are just marketing.
When the company is at the top, everybody think it can dominate everything. It can’t even beat SHOP! for helping companies do e-commerce. IMHO, is a danger sign that the peak is near or has already peaked.
Disclosure: Owned 1 AMZN 
SHOP is a cult stock like TSLA.
It also makes them way easier to acquire and integrate.
That was a startup running on AWS that Amazon bought.
That is going into CSCO and MSFT territory!
You are comparing Apples and Oranges.
SHOP is trying to get equity money from investors for its future. They are money eater without even having any plan. It is like junk bond.
TSLA is innovation, product launch, changes future of the world how it operates, EV leader. Whole world - China, Gulf, Eu, Japan, Australia and US,recognizes TSLA and its predominance.
You see how China encourages TSLA to come, How Saudi is solid way buying 5% stake of TSLA. In fact, my teens , when in high school, told me to buy TSLA at $41 which I was not aware at that time.
Only few people in this forum do not understand why 400000 orders were pre-booked people standing in queues. This is like FORD of early 1900s.
Being in bay area, just near by where innovation is taking place, many do not understand the TSLA’s significance !
This is like “Other side is always green”.

Guess how much is below worth 2mrw Yes, I added 100 more equivalent shares 
The 700 equivalent shares would be up $9k 2mrw 
AAPL, BABA and FB super duper 
TSLA and MSFT
Didn’t have any MSFT micro sucks. have some testacles.
Tsla is actually very bullish. It did not sink like aapl and fb did in the past quarter. So overall it held up better.

Didn’t study TSLA chart carefully. Just glance at the chart. If it is in uptrend, 2mrw is a good time to add to ride the ensuing up wave to $335. I think I will double my stake to 12 No time to analyze TSLA in detail so no long calls.
