Is Amazon Stock a Buy Right Now?

Following second-quarter results from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) late last month that were far better than analysts were expecting, is now a good time to buy the growth stock? With shares up an incredible 73% over the past 12 months, this is likely a question on many investors' minds, as some people may feel like they missed their chance to buy into this exciting growth story.

A close look at Amazon's booming business, however, shows that shares are still attractive today.
