Amazon is what's blowing me away lately, I like never buy anything at the store, except groceries and maybe clothes/shoes that I want to try on first. They sell EVERYTHING! I just ordered a bunch of parts for my boat and these flossing things for kids teeth, on the same order, had it in 2 days, free shipping as a Prime member! Sometimes I even get stuff the same day since they put a fulfillment center in here.



I can only wish that I'd have bought into this retail behemoth! Wow -- anyone that's interested should check out their chart (AMZN) - UP 70% year to date - UP 60% for 1 year - UP 280% 5 year - UP 1128% in 10 years...

I just wish it paid a dividend... because for my own personal investing that's a critical piece of the puzzle particularly given their share price.
