Why Amazon Is a Smart Stock for Your Retirement Portfolio
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos has retained his start-up mentality. He runs one of the most successful retailers in the world, yet he keeps his company focused on the idea that it's had from day one.
That's a philosophy that Bezos regularly references. It's detailed in a letter he wrote in 1997 that he continues to attach to each year's annual report.
But this is Day 1 for the Internet and, if we execute well, for Amazon.com. Today, online commerce saves customers money and precious time. Tomorrow, through personalization, online commerce will accelerate the very process of discovery. Amazon.com uses the Internet to create real value for its customers and, by doing so,hopes to create an enduring franchise, even in established and large markets.
