Amazon hits $1T market cap
I plan to start slowly getting out of tech stocks.<p>Since 2012, I've held stocks in Apple, Amazon, Google, and Tesla (also, Microsoft and Intel, but sold those). I was skeptical about Facebook, so didn't purchase.<p>I attribute my buying decisions to my knowledge gained from Hacker News. Thank you everybody:)<p>Back then, the everyday person didn't have a clue what these companies were doing. (My dad's friend was still betting on HP, and no one knew about AWS.)<p>Oil companies fail because they think they're in the oil business. When in fact, they're in the energy business.<p>Toys "R" Us went bankrupt because they thought they were a toy-selling company, instead of a child entertainment company. These companies fail to innovate.<p>The great thing about tech companies... innovation is in their blood. The problem is when that blood gets diluted and their purpose gets lost in "making toys" instead of "entertaining children".<p>As I said above, I'm looking to get out of tech stocks. Looking for multi-family property real estate options. Years ago I purchased and lived in a duplex, then sold.<p>Looking for opportunities providing cash flow, and a proven product that's been around for 1000's of years. If you know of anything, please see my bio.
