Should We Worry About Amazon?

Make no mistake: Amazon.com (NAS: AMZN) is an online retail powerhouse that's disrupting the entire retail space, and as a stock, it has a lot of bulls. But it would be irresponsible if we talked about a stock as frequently discussed as this one without discussing the very real bear aspect, too.

In this video, Motley Fool analyst Joe Magyer discusses Amazon's almost prohibitively high cost based on its high ratios, and how other companies with their own online ecosystems -- such as Apple (NAS: AAPL) and Google (NAS: GOOG) -- won't be the pushovers that Barnes & Noble (NYS: BKS) was, even despite how efficiently Amazon has been beating traditional retailers and building its moat in the e-commerce sector as the first mover.

Everyone knows Amazon is the big bad wolf in the retail world right now, but at its sky-high valuation, most investors are worried it's the company's share price that will get knocked down instead of its competitors'. We'll tell you what's driving the company's growth, and how to know when to buy and sell Amazon, in our new premium report. Our report also has you covered with a full year of free analyst updates to keep you informed as the company's story changes, so click here now to read more.
