Are Amazon shares worth it?

Is buying Amazon stock a good investment move. I know it is one of the biggest internet stocks, but is it really worth owning?

Hi there,

Before investing in a company's stock, take time to inform yourself about the company's financial situation, its products, its management and its growth plans. Is the company's success heavily dependent on one individual (its founder or CEO, for example)? Has it been turning profits? How high are its expenses in relation to its income? What are its potential competitors?

The historical dividends paid out by a company to its shareholders are also important because these statistics indicate whether dividends have increased steadily over time, stagnated, or decreased. Knowing what dividend you can expect to earn for each share you hold will help you calculate how long it will take for your investment to turn a profit in the event that the stock's market value does not increase significantly.
