@ryanTesling @mact3333 @Kalshi_Finance Unless I’m not in a short-dated highly leveraged trade, I’m not paying attention to the day-to-day. I want to see $AMZN go down so I can re-lever at lower prices.
$PTRN Recent IPO. $AMZN Mktplace wholesaler. Buys products up front, capital intensive, bears price, inventory risk. Exposed to FBA cost & AMZN algo changes. Claims AI optimization which AMZN explicitly blocks. Razor thin margins, neg op leverage. All peers went BK in last 3yrs.
Smith bought Amazon near its 2021 peak after years of criticizing its low margins, then sold in 2023 for a 40% loss.
A few mins to go, but this has been by far Andy Jassy's best call ever as CEO. Well done sir. $AMZN
$AMZN op margin of 13.7% is its highest quarterly margin ever by a pretty wide margin. ROIC showing itself.
$AMZN incremental AWS margins are 57% and operating cash flow grew +40% against a much harder comp. These types of numbers show that ROIC is there on the capex.
Internet analysts once focused on Google Search, Meta advertising, Netflix subscribers and AWS growth. AI-era capex has made those earnings calls more complex.
@FrostByte123456 Yes. $GOOGL needs to feed TWO capex intensive businesses: 1. Search (Gemeni) and 2. Cloud. $AMZN needs to only feed one, which is AWS.
Alphabet faces a two-front AI capex burden, funding internal search competition and external cloud capacity without Meta’s excess-compute pivot.
@LogicalThesis Market might sell $AMZN some here. But the distinction that should be made is that a massive amount of $GOOGL's capex is funding internal compute needs. The majority of AMZN's capex is for external.

Steve Eisman argues the AI boom hinges on Anthropic and OpenAI’s importance to hyperscalers, while weighing software, CoreWeave and Cisco…
SpaceX, Amazon and mobile network operators may compete for $NN’s low-band spectrum, creating an extreme upside case if several parties need the asset.
Shelly’s German Amazon store is back, with its relays again listed as bestsellers and sold directly by Shelly rather than third-party resellers.
@tinderboxman No. I added another 20% of the account in $AMZN weekly options, on top of the 50% already in $AMZN equity which was 1x levered. Been applying this leverage strategy for 18 years.
AST SpaceMobile faces questions over SpaceX and Amazon’s distribution, capital advantages and pricing in a three-player satellite communications market.
@Anointed_Ape Inconsequential. $AMZN no small cap
Would’ve been a $20B+ positive swing if they’d just followed me into $AMZN at 1x leverage. And they call us Dumb Money. https://t.co/WZVVizF9zL
@Ghostlike @TheOneLanceB You’re missing critical context on my $AMZN trade. If you care to dig in, start with my high-level breakdown on this week’s @TheICHpodcast.
The full story of the hotly debated “irresponsible” $AMZN trade that made me $10M in a day. The research. The leverage. The near disaster. The comeback. Link in comments https://t.co/foSxtqY98m
Options strategies will manage portfolio risk after Meta, Alphabet and Amazon calls drove gains, while Lululemon LEAPs produced an 80% loss.
Amazon’s AWS grew 37% to a $169 billion run rate in 2Q’26, while North America retail margins fell excluding a $600 million tariff refund.
