Hi Slum, when I was commenting on the value thread in January 2016... AMZN and GOOGL were 2 stocks that I particuarly held out as great stocks to hold. on a positive note AMZN and GOOGL are amazing companies for the long term ..... how do compete with AMZN AMZN was selling for $550 or so and GOOGL was selling for $700 AMZN has come close to doubling and I was advocating it as a great long term holding. Message 30407791 I have over the past 20 years advocated being in tech stocks, silver and gold stocks, and an array of other stocks that have appreciated by several hundred % so since your message on AMZN is a little cryptic...............take a look at my post and tell me with a straight face that I was not bullish on AMZN in early 2016. As readers of this thread and several others that I participate in...... I am not an in and out trader, especially when it comes to stocks. and after my long and wondering respond..... I now realized that you were providing a link to the famed worked ...... Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds Paperback – October 22, 2013 so I misunderstood your post... but still want it to be noted that I was bullish on AMZN $500 a go. The Extraordinary Popualar Delusions book is really mandatory reading for everyone and it can be had for free as a PDFdownload on Google Books. there is a tremendous amount of excellent material in the book.
