We are reaching significant highs and the US dollar is getting stronger. Several economies are collapsing mainly due to their currency crashing against the USD (Turkey, Argentina, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, etc...).&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ll probably fail to find the comment but I was very bullish on tech stocks a year or more earlier. I&amp;#x27;m &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; VERY bullish on them. Albeit I have to say that the risks now for a substantial correction is starting to go up.&lt;p&gt;Here are two possibilities:&lt;p&gt;1. Things go back to normal. Tech Stocks go up a bit more and then we correct. Possibly getting into a bear market. This time is not different.&lt;p&gt;2. This time it is different. Tech stocks carry on the bull market. Everything is a bull market even the US dollar. This crashes pretty much the rest of the world stocks and economies. The US economy and dollars crashes several economies and makes a come back as the most powerful economy on the planet.</text></comment>

You can&amp;#x27;t do it with Amazon. However it has always traded at a high valuation. Lets suppose it becomes the size of walmart which close ~500 bil in revenue. On the retail end their margins aren&amp;#x27;t really any better. So that is ~300 billion dollar business. That would mean AWS + prime video&amp;#x2F;music + amazon ads are worth 700 billions?</text></comment>
