Confident Investor comments: At this price and at this time, I do not think that a Confident Investor can confidently invest in this stock. It is not possible to confidently invest in a company that is not currently profitable. I am removing this stock from my Watch List. I have reviewed Amazon on this site several times and it has bounced between Fair and Good each time. The last time I reviewed it, the stock had dropped to Fair but I left it on my Watch List due to the company’s impact on the retail sector. While the stock is still very popular, I can no longer be confident in its growth potential as it tries to return to profitability.
