Amazon is now the USA's most valuable publicly-traded company by market value:
Amazon's ended trading Monday with a market value of about $797 billion, compared with Microsoft's $783 billion. Apple, which had been part of a close three-way race for the seat, is now down to about $702 billion in market value after plunging last week on the news of its weak iPhone sales. Google parent company Alphabet has surpassed Apple with a market value of about $748 billion.

Would not a nice and soothing intellectual aristarchus submission be preferable to this Musk level pump-and-dump stock market manipulation fare, of which SoylentNews should be free? I mean, we are all either communists or true libertarians (if there could be such a thing), so the pumping-dumping thing is really unnecessary, unless a Yak is involved, and shaving, but, really, have we gone that far? Really?

The Trump market is decidedly down, as the spawn have borked the hotel business, and real estate is only real if it is imaginary, as in speculative. So expect a crash. It is inevitable. Make your market decisions based on my wisdom. At least I am not Cramer!

Amazon suck, and Bezos is evil, herp derp.
I prefer Apple because it's shinier.
