>> The investment proposition is quite clear. Will Amazon continue their "Top Line" growth? That's the bet. << Is that really the "investment" proposition, or the "trading the stock price" proposition ? Investment implies return on investment. Your proposed method is based on trading the stock price at a slow rate. It is great for minimizing effort and expenses. And also you are right on the entry price. So did you sell at 200+, or were you waiting for the breakout like everyone else ?

The "forever longs" as you call them, will buy at 100. At least I know that I will. I try to double and triple my money, not pick up $5 and $10 swings. Too small for my taste. As a "now trader", I have a comment; If Amzn drops to 100, I will have the opportunity to decide if I want to buy 400 shares and hope that it will again double in 2 months. The $40K will be all Amzn trading profit from the past 4 months. As far as "now" is concerned, trading $$ is too material to be ignored.
