Amazon’s Bullish Outlook with Growth in AWS and Advertising
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$Couldn't agree more. AMZN stands out to me as one of the most appealing of the MAG7.I say this because AWS and advertising are growing at insane rates and these are two sectors that will be invaluable in the future. Amazon is also in a great position to have some of the most user-targeted advertisements out there because they are able to track consumer spending, I'm not expecting their ad business to halt anytime soon. Additionally AWS is devouring market share and AMZN is investing in it heavily going forward.AMZN is also going to benefit MASSIVELY from development in robotics. This would boost the efficiency and cost effectiveness of their retail sector tremendously.I am surprised that they missed the

COIN & HIMS Show Strong Bullish Trends, But ASML Didn't
1. $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ Coinbase's non-exchange business is becoming a pretty big business.It’ll be interesting to see how COIN evolves into bonds and other illiquid instruments.

$Starbucks(SBUX)$ Starbucks' previously popular "Buy One Get One" promotions, once a small perk for office workers, have not boosted company performance, according to U.S. media analysis.

According to reports from Business Insider and other U.S. outlets, insiders revealed that former CEO Laxman Narasimhan had attempted to attract consumers through discount strategies, but these promotions were ineffective and even caused Starbucks’ market share in the U.S. to decline. Since Niccol's appointment in
