Hot Stock #5 – Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon (AMZN) has become the “virtual river” for getting just about any consumer retail product
you want at the lowest price possible. Books, CDs, DVDs, flat-panel TVs, pants, shirts, dinnerware, cookware, coffee and just about anything you can
think of can be found and purchased at Amazon.com — and in most cases with no state sales tax and even no shipping charges.

Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos out of his garage in Bellevue, Washington. Bezos attracted the attention of businessman Nick Hanauer. Hanauer
believed in Bezos’ idea and decided to invest $40,000 in the venture. Five years later, Amazon had raked in over a billion dollars in sales.

An idea, some capital, the will to succeed and a receptive public. This is the essence of capitalism.
