Fundamental Trading
Analysis of Amazon 
Pricing at about $3,300 per share makes Amazon look expensive, but you can't judge a stock by its price alone. Another way to think about buying stock is to think about how much you would have to pay to own the entire company (assuming you can do it).

Alternative scenario:

If the level 3444.00 is broken-out, follow the recommendations below:
  • Time frame: D1
  • Recommendation: long position
  • Entry point: 3444.00
  • Take Profit 1: 3584.00
  • Take Profit 2: 3667.00
