“Goldman Sachs is finally jumping aboard the Apple Stock Express,” Brian Sozzi reports for TheStreet. “Weeks after being the first company to reach a $1 trillion valuation and on indications billionaire Warren Buffett has bought more of Apple’s stock, Goldman Sachs realizes it’s time to be more upbeat.”

Apple isn’t even close to how Amazon is being confidently valued by Wall Street. in fact, it’s downright insulting how Apple is considered just a placeholder for Amazon.
Amazon and Apple are two different business models, like orange and apple. Amazon is e-commerce stretching thin with
grocery, streaming, news paper, merchandises, clouds, anything, everything. etc, etc, etc.
I do expect Amazon’s stock price will implode at some point. OR go to 2 Trillion! I only wish I could’ve ridden both the Apple and Amazon stock ride to the top.
At least I have my Apple stock (since 2000) but only wish I had invested more. Still, going from a low 4 figure investment to near mid-6 figures today ain’t too shabby!
