Amazon is the best of this bubble, and in some ways the worst!
Yet again, it’ll pay zero taxes to the IRS for 2018!
No taxes on sales of $233 billion and profits of $10.8 billion last year.
Not a dime.
Nada!
This is just wrong.
And it’s one of many things that are wrong with this bubble!
I just had to record a video to talk to you about it.
One of the most prominent companies of the current bull market bubble, Harry takes a look at Amazon, why they represent one of the biggest problems with this bubble, and why you should watch the e-commerce giant so closely…Harry still sees great opportunities in the stock market, but for only a limited window of time he talks about here: bit.ly/2Uerdzt

Amazon got up to a $1 trillion valuation at its peak in 2017. At that time, it was 5.6x sales. That’s crazy. A normal valuation is 1x, maybe 2x for a growth company.
So, we’ve got companies making record profits and enjoying tax cuts. AND they’ve had a QE tailwind for years…
All of which they’ve used to buy back their own stocks.
Yeah! That’s a recipe for trouble.
First though, they’ll present Dark Window profit opportunity this year!
