- link Amazon Stock Down 3.7% — Split It Into Amazon Services And Products Makes sense to split Amazon. Will be good for investors. It’s time to break up Amazon.

- Best time to look for a job is when you are not actively looking for a job! 😉 Amazon ignorance will bite it back. My prediction : Azure & GCP will take over AWS in next 5 years. Sane engineers will leave for better culture and higher pay ! Investors will realize soon which internal folks already know that Day 2 is already here!
- Beware of the damage of Amazon culture I personally think the Amazon engineering culture has been causing damage to the industry. It only benefits the company’s investors, top managers and ironically its customers - us. It has severely damaged the tech industry and us who are employees. I’ve met and talked to current and ex-Amazon manag

- Will Zoox continue hardware development now that it is part of Amazon? Any rumors on the future of Zoox hardware development future? It was always a long shot, and being part of Amazon who is a big investor in Rivian may even make less sense. #amazon #zoox #rivianautomotive
- Why doesn’t Amazon split its shares? The price per share of Amazon stock has become unpurchasable at $1436. Why don’t they split the shares? Who is going to invest a fortune just for a few shares as individual investors?

As of this morning here are market caps for the largest tech companies: 1) MSFT - 970B 2) AMZN - 900B 3) AAPL - 832B 4) GOOG - 794B There is no reason why Google should be so far back, especially given their sizeable investments in so many future bets.

- Will Amazon's shipping delays have a negative impact on the business? I haven't seen a single item fulfilled by Amazon that can get to me within a month. Are investors assuming people will turn to Amazon during this time? I would imagine a lot of people are getting pissed and not only ordering elsewhere but also canceling their prime memberships. Maybe they'll see
- Don't get your hopes up for AMZN stock split Bezos is not a fan of speculators buying his company and introducing volatility. He also doesn't give a damn about short-term pump with gimmicks to float AMZN price like Tesla and Apple. He's a fan of BRK.A's ridiculously high per share price that only long-term "serious" investors can buy into. Bu
