What the fuck, Amazon is currently $780 PER SHARE!
I know that Amazon Web Services is killing at the moment but how is this not a bubble?
Adobe, with its Adobe Marketing Cloud, is $104 per share.
Facebook, which I would have thought had reached maturation, is $120.
This is nuts. Tech is this decade's radio stocks from the 1920s. How do these companies prevent long term investors from pulling the fuck out?
>I know that Amazon Web Services is killing at the moment
understatement of a lifetime. AWS provides infrastructure for 40% of the public internet, and an unknown percent of private intranet.

read this until it answers your question
Berkshire Hathaway Class A is currently $237,070 that means they're overpriced by 237,000%!!!

yea, you want market cap to tell you a companies valuation, share price means nothing.
>>1633623
This, they're a tech company that actually does REAL THINGS IN REAL LIFE.
That said they're also overvalued because they're a tech company and popular and so on. Less than the lifestyle ones like apple tho.

apple pays a dividend and has a realistic p/e, you fucking braindead mongoloid.
Also if Amazon comes to my country (which they look set to do) I think they'll make another killing.

What country?

Already priced in to an extent.
It's a 178 P/E right now. Extreme future growth is expected for it to maintain its current price.
>>1635036
wasn't it even higher? i thought they reached 1000 at some point. also the P/E is due to the fact that they are expanding very agressively. Once they have the markets they want (propably never, as they keep expanding) they are expected to make way more profit and thus lowering the ratio.
>>1635036
Can you explain how the p/e of a company works? I'm interested and it's something I've not yet got my head around.
>>1635166
if they don't grow anymore and have the same earings every year, in 178 years they will have made the money all the stocks combined are worth
>>1633612
> how is this not a bubble?
Because its based on the market value of Amazon rather than pure speculation?
>>1635124
It was higher, then they earned more money relative to the share price - thus it decreased.
I'm not saying amazon is a bad investment, just that the market is already counting on it to continue expanding.
>>1633612
And thats even before they replaced all workers with droids.
Just wait until trump taxes their online shit coming from China.

Who is saying it isn't a bubble?
