 =========================
 
 I jumped in already mainly because there's no guarantee we'll get a huge gap down like we did on June 9th.    At that time, AMZN was over $1000, then dropped to $950.

 Ahhhh .. back to my comfort zone ...
 I can't tell you how "comforting" it is to know I don't have to "do" anything but just hold AMZN.

 I hope we get a repeat of last month -- a nice big $50 gap down.

 My 9 shares have  made me $1543 so far - Earnings always have me a little on edge as I have been burned by earnings in the past.  I'm  up enough now that earnings takes a dump that I can get out and still have a profit. I feel good about where AMZN is and where its headed. Next quarter should do good as as Amazon Prime Day was July 10th, 2017 . Prime Day is a one-day only global shopping event exclusively for Prime members was a big success.
 
 I wonder if and when AMZN will do a stock split like Apple did.

 Sold HALF of the AMZN I just bought.
 If they run it down like they did the last month, I'd be a nervous wreck.

 BUBBLES of the past have made me very cautious.
 I could've made a million $$ in the last 4 years, but the fear .... is just too overwhelming.
