Interesting that it seems to be a stand alone service from #Amazon in countries where they don't offer #AmazonPrime. But how much will they charge after the introductory offer expires? I wonder... Either way, it could be some unwanted competition for #NEtflix which has invested heavily in this area. $AMZN$NFLX
The article is cogent and you are right in suggesting that Tech needs to get involved if the Santa or #Trump rally is to continue! What puzzles me is $AMZN's lack of involvement in the rally, same goes for $FB but they are fighting the currents caused by inaccurate ad metrics and fake news! AAPL is a one product company and lately they can't even produce a decent phone. AMZN, however, has no excuse. A 55% YOY increase in AWS and stupendous sales numbers have not moved the needle. $GOOGL is the only #FANG member that has shown some positive momentum. In the absence of Biotech and Pharma, Tech needs to fill that void or the rally has seen its best days already!
Interesting read but I have to take issue with your comment that "For creating new content, there are no barriers to entry." How can you say that? Creating a quality TV program or movie can take hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially if it involves a cast with star power. #Netflix and #Amazon definitely excel at this. Personally I think #Hulu and #YouTube fall short. $NFLX$AMZN
It all comes down to this: "#Amazon automatically determines what items customers take from the shelves. "
No idea how they do this. But if it works, it could solve all the problems and complaints of the programs that came before. It would also limit petty theft/shoplifting which is a major problem in this industry. $AMZN
I'm curious to see if #Amazon can make this work. $AMZN always manages to do things better. The idea is great, but to date, implementations have been poor.
You make a compelling argument to buy $AMZN. There are so many other reasons to buy #Amazon stock as well, that this is actually on the bottom of my list. As a customer of #AWS, I've actually been pretty unsatisfied with my experience. I find the customer support to be incredibly slow to resolve problems and have experienced outages. I think AWS need to improve if they want to continue getting my business.
I'd have to agree with you @[Alexander Hamilton](user:35569). Though I often wonder if sites like $AMZN or $AAPL have their own plans for #cryptocurrency. Like with #ApplePay.
It's because #cryptocurrency is used by various nefarious organizations to launder money. From various Mafias to Dictators and dark web, all use it. $AMZN doesn't want to legitimize them!
I have a love/hate relationship with #Ebay. I agree it is still the go-to place to sell my stuff. They've done a great job on cornering the auction market. That being said, I think they've completely dropped the ball and let #Amazon eat into their overall used-goods market share. They consistently fail to be innovative while Amazon is always leading in innovation. Perhaps the company's foray into structured date will have an impact as the author suggests.

Bullish On Ebay
At least I still don't have to pay sales tax on $EBAY! That gives them an advantage over $AMZN in my book.
