I keed I keed... been holding since 2006...

Currently trading +$4.72 at $1,011.45!

woah... $950

Not worried. With record capital inflows to passive ETFs (who must buy market-cap weighted stocks), I expect their new inflows will dollar cost average into these dips pushing prices back up.

My guess is that we see it touch $910 - 920 before getting on the right path again. That's where it was around the previous earnings. I think all the FAANG stocks will still dip lower before a real rebound.

Think we'll get a prime discount on Whole Foods? We stop

What is the deal with the prime now? They just announced the service in Denver, and I see the groceries are through sprouts? Did they partner with them?


Of course my zip code isn't included, but my office zip is.

I just jumped in this stock today.

We've had Prime Now for a while in Austin. It's basically a selection of Prime goods, groceries, and even restaurant to-go orders that are all delivered in ~1 hr.

You're getting 1hr for free? OR is that the $8 upgrade? My order took 3 hours.

My main question was.. when did they partner with Sprouts? It's a bit confusing.. I can buy groceries from amazon, or from sprouts through amazon.

Fair question. I haven't used it for groceries and when I ordered Prime stuff it was when it was brand new and I didn't have to pay for the 1 hour delivery. We use it mostly to have food delivered when we're too lazy to go out.

Visual Capitalist is a neat little website.

my goal is to make more on amazon stock this year than my wife spends on amazon...

currently, she is winning

Is there a Whole Foods in Granbury? Your goal may be unachievable!

Wonder what the next 10 years, heck 5 years will say?

Other than obviously Amazon, probably Target and perhaps Macy's, they'll all be out of business, at least as big box stores.

Agree, but I also see kohls staying. But what's do I know.

So glad I dumped Macy's & many "value stocks". A cheap turd is still turd.

With Amazon's growing list of acquisitions does anyone foresee them making a run at a company like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc...?

I do not think so, not if those targets are unionized. Too much overhead. Amazon already has Amazon Logistics and will do it cheaper.

From what Ive experienced their own delivery service is a complete disaster and is absolutely horrific. Here in SF they basically just hire random people who deliver with their own personal cars. They often just leave the packages outside of buildings/businesses/houses on busy streets as apposed to trying again the following day. They commonly deliver to my business a few hours after closing, sometimes as late as 9pm, and on sundays when we're not open. Ive found boxes in the planters out front and in front of the door waiting for the receptionist in the morning. Once we had a client (luckily) find a package on a saturday evening and bring it in to us on monday morning. I now do my damnedest to time delivery to come nowhere near a weekend.

I wish I could request/require them to deliver with a real delivery service, but unfortunately you get what you pay for...

Same experience here in Houston with Amazon delivery people.

As a side note, I had all my deliveries from Prime Day arrive without issue. We had other orders from other companies shipped by UPS that are terribly delayed.

Feels like UPS put Amazon packages on the fast track and let others suffer. I can only imagine the outcome if UPS totally botched up Prime Day for Amazon.

looks like it's back on track

Are yalls delivery problems with prime 2 day or same day?

I've easily had a hundred orders with regular prime 2 day over the last few years, the ONLY problem I've ever had is with my father in laws Po Box. Never had an issue with deliveries to my house.

I tried same day one time last month. Showed up in 3 hours. The warehouse (which my company built) is a mile down the road.

Would one of you fine gentlemen be open to tearing this thing apart? Just did a quick read but their assumptions about profit margins seem simplistic. That said, price to earnings are a bit ridiculous across the market right now.

Never used prime 2 day. It's either next day, or regular free two day shipping. Funny enough, it tends to be when they come in early. For instance, more than once i made a business order on friday, the estimated delivery date will be monday and it is either delivered on saturday evening or sunday. Where I am at when they have their own delivery service it is always during evening hours or weekends (I guess that's the best availability for their drivers). Very odd. So now I try to time all orders on mondays, to try to prevent this scenario (still get evening deliveries but at least theres a chance ill be there working late).

'regular free two day shipping' = 'prime two day'

Your free 2 day shipping is only free because you are a prime member. A non prime member doesn't have that option.

It's been quite awhile since a Prime package showed up in 2 days at my house. It's usually more like 5-6 days. I recently dropped the service altogether because of this.

Forgive my very insignificant mistake. For some reason I was thinking 2 hour delivery instead of 2 day while typing. I wrote that quickly before leaving for work.

Irrelevant to the discussion either way. Feeling better now?

And yes, it's rarely 2 day.

Weird. We order stuff almost daily and it always comes in 2 days.

I live in Houston, no problems with timing, but big problems with the local Amazon delivery drivers. They aren't as experienced as the UPS guys. UPS will put the package over the gate on my front porch. Amazon drivers get confused, block our street while they are trying to figure out what to do, then won't deliver. Just slip the package over the gate!! I know it's locked, don't let that confuse you! I then get a call from a Seattle number. It's them trying to tell me they can't get to the front door. Well I'm at work so just place the package over the gate.

Also, my parent's live in West Texas, it takes longer for them to get their stuff by a few days. Still worth it for them.

That would confuse me, too!

Maybe tell them to just throw it under the gate.

Do you reside in a vortex of some sort?
