Now only Apple and Alphabet is more valuable than Amazon and it looks like Amazon will overtake Alphabet to be second only to Apple soon.



Amazon sells at a much much higher premium than Alphabet and Apple. If their growth ever begins to falter they won't be such a hot stock. Amazon has an amazing ability to pinch pennies and beat estimates every time. But with Microsoft and Google pushing on their cloud margins, I wonder how long that will last. They are the enemy of a lot of people. Google, Microsoft and Walmart to name a few. Not saying Amazon is doomed, just think people may be a bit over optimistic in thinking they will not hit road blocks going forward.


Next up: Facebook to rename itself to also begin with the letter A.


Acebook?


I'd so much prefer SafeBook, but it won't happen soon...

That's for instagram


I don’t agree with this. In long term data is most valuable thing in the world. And Google is best postioned to have more data than anyone.


Plus the most valuable data

there’s no such thing as pure data - different kinds of information have different values. Google hasn’t figured out how to turn indiscriminate data collection into economic value, except as a venue to host advertising mixed with search results - and their ad targeting is still abysmal!


Google is worth over $800B yet growing at over 22% and accelerating and not figured out how to monetize data?
