If I Could Buy Only 1 Stock, This Would Be It
I've been kicking myself for years -- decades, actually -- for not being an Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) shareholder. I finally gave my kicking leg a rest earlier this month when I bought into the world's leading online retailer.
It's not as if I didn't see the mastery of Amazon. I've been a customer since the early days when it just sold physical books, CDs, and DVDs. I jumped on Prime the moment the platform rolled out.
I also had a front seat to the stock's success. I helped write some of daily recaps of the original The Fool Portfolio that Tom and David Gardner managed in the late 1990s. Amazon was one of the portfolio's top performers, and even the sudsy pop of the dot-com bubble wasn't enough to vanquish the then novel online retailer.
