Holdings Inc</b>&nbsp;.</p>\n<p>These two financially challenged and relatively low-rated stocks are far from safe, blue-chip investments, and a new study by the University of Sydney School of Economics sheds some light on why young traders are willing to make such big bets on a pair of extremely risky stocks.</p>\n<p><b>YOLO Trading:</b>One of the hallmarks of meme stock mania is that traders on Reddit, Twitter and elsewhere are posting screenshots of their \"YOLO trades\" and documenting their buys for the whole world to see.

Combined with the potential to become the biggest dividend payer in history, Amazon is the ultimate rich retirement dream stock.

safety and quality model works well?</p>\n<p>During the 2 worst recessions in 75 years, our safety model predicted 6 blue-chip dividend cuts on the Phoenix list.</p>\n<p>There were 5, meaning we did

company is right for everyone, and all have complex risk profiles that investors must understand and be comfortable with.</p>\n<p>Fundamental Risk Profile</p>\n<p><b>We believe that the uncertainty for Amazon is high and that despite being an e-commerce leader, the company faces a variety of risks.</b></p>\n<p>Amazon must protect its leading online retailing position, which can be challenging as consumer preferences change, especially post-COVID-19 (as consumers may revert back to prior behaviors), and traditional retailers bolster their online presence.</p>\n<p>Maintaining an e-commerce edge has pushed the company to make investments in non-traditional areas, such as producing content for its Prime Video subscriptions and building out its own transportation network.</p>\n<p>Similarly, the company must also maintain an attractive value proposition for its third-party sellers. Some of these investment areas have raised investor questions in the past, and we expect management to continue to invest according to its strategy, despite periodic margin pressure from increased spending.</p>\n<p>The company must also continue to invest in new offerings. AWS, transportation, and physical stores (both Amazon branded and Whole Foods) are three notable areas of investment.

Amazon is that company.\nAmazon's empire of businesses, including high margin AWS and advertising are expected to drive massive margin expansion leading to 33% annual free cash flow growth through 2026.\n$171 billion in annual free cash flow and $628 billion in cash on the balance sheet, means that Amazon will likely be forced by institutional investors to pay dividends.\nAmazon's 17% discount to fair value, and hyper-growth through 2026, means analysts think it could deliver 290% returns, nearly quadrupling your investment in five years.\nThose 26% CAGR consensus returns are what Amazon has delivered with incredible consistency for over 20 years. Combined with the potential to become the biggest dividend payer in history, Amazon is the ultimate rich retirement dream stock. That's why I've invested almost $250,000 into the best hyper-growth Ultra SWAN on earth, in all of my retirement portfolios. As long as Amazon remains undervalued, and the thesis intact, I'll keep buying my highest conviction recommendation of all time.\n\nAndrey Maximenko/iStock via Getty Images\nToday the market is highly overvalued, that's no secret.\n\nThat means that future returns are likely to be far lower than the 14% CAGR investors have enjoyed over the last decade.\nFor context, here's the return potential of the 32% overvalued S&P 500.\nS&P 500 2023 Consensus Total Return Potential\n(Source: FAST Graphs, FactSet Research)\nS&P 500 2026 Consensus Total Return Potential\n(Source: FAST Graphs, FactSet Research)\nEven the venerable dividend aristocrats, which historically outperform the S&P 500 by 2% annually, are only expected to deliver about 6% CAGR total returns over the next five years.\nBut fear not, because it's always a market of stocks and not a stock market.\nNo matter what kind of investor you are, yield, value, quality, low volatility, maximum returns, ESG, etc., something great is always on sale, if you know where to look.\nToday I wanted to highlight Amazon (AMZN), my highest conviction recommendation ever.\nNot only does Amazon represent a wonderful company at a wonderful price, but there are three reasons why the world's greatest hyper-growth Ultra SWAN could nearly quadruple in the next five years.\nThat's right, 26% CAGR consensus return potential, even with the market 32% overvalued.\nAmazon Total Returns Since 1998\n\n(Source: Portfolio Visualizer)\nThat's actually the returns Amazon investors have seen with clockwork-like regularity over the past 20 years.\nBut wait, it gets better. Not only does Amazon have the potential to deliver Buffett-line returns over the next five years, but it's also likely to become one of the greatest dividend growth blue-chips in the world. In fact, Amazon is eventually likely to become the biggest dividend payer in world history.\nSo here are the three reasons why I've invested almost $250,000 into Amazon across my retirement portfolios, on the way to eventually investing millions into what I call my \"Jeff Bezos retirement plan\".\nReason 1: Exceptional Quality And Safety\nMy motto is \"Safety and quality first, and prudent valuation and sound risk management always.\"\nThe Dividend King's overall quality scores factor in 188 fundamental metrics covering.\n\ndividend safety\nbalance sheet strength\nshort and long-term bankruptcy risk\naccounting and corporate fraud risk\nprofitability and business model\ngrowth consensus estimates\ncost of capital\nlong-term sustainability (ESG scores and trends from MSCI, Morningstar, S&P, FactSet, and Reuters'/Refinitiv)\nmanagement quality\ndividend friendly corporate culture/income dependability\nlong-term total returns (a Ben Graham sign of quality)\n\nIt actually includes over 1,000 metrics if you count everything factored in by nine rating agencies we use to assess fundamental risk.\nHow do we know that our safety and quality model works well?\nDuring the 2 worst recessions in 75 years, our safety model predicted 6 blue-chip dividend cuts on the Phoenix list.\nThere were 5, meaning we did very well during the ultimate baptism by fire for any dividend safety model.\nAnd then there's the confirmation that our quality ratings are very accurate.\nIn the past decade, just 42% of all stocks made money, including dividends.\n\n100% Of Phoenix Recs, Past And Present, Have Made Money Over The Last Decade\n(Seeking Alpha)\n\nDK Phoenix: A Great Blue-Chip Stock Picking System\n\n\n\nMetric\nUS Stocks\nPhoenix\n\n\nPositive Total Returns Over The Last 10 Years\n42%\n100%\n\n\nLost Money/Went Bankrupt\n47%\n0%\n\n\nOutperformed Market\n36%\n52%\n\n\nBankruptcies Over The Last 10 Years\n11%\n0%\n\n\nPermanent 70+% Catastrophic Decline\n40%\n0%\n\n\n\n(Sources: Morningstar, JPMorgan Asset Management, FactSet, Seeking Alpha)\nBasically, historical market data confirms that the DK safety and quality model is one of the most comprehensive and accurate in the world.\nPicking stocks is hard unless you have a comprehensive and accurate way of measuring risk, valuation, and long-term return potential, which DK Phoenix most certainly does.\nThis is why I entrust 100% of my life savings to this model and the DK Phoenix strategy.\nBalance Sheet Safety\n\n\n\nRating\nDividend Kings Safety Score (110 Safety Metric Model)\nApproximate Dividend Cut Risk (Average Recession)\nApproximate Dividend Cut Risk In Pandemic Level Recession\n\n\n1 (unsafe)\n0% to 20%\nover 4%\n16+%\n\n\n2 (below- average)\n21% to 40%\nover 2%\n8% to 16%\n\n\n3 (average)\n41% to 60%\n2%\n4% to 8%\n\n\n4 (safe)\n61% to 80%\n1%\n2% to 4%\n\n\n5 (very safe)\n81% to 100%\n0.5%\n1% to 2%\n\n\nAMZN\n88%\nA+ top AA credit ratings\n0.6% to 0.51% 30-year default/bankruptcy risk\n\n\n\nLong-Term Dependability\n\n\n\nCompany\nDK Long-Term Dependability Score\nInterpretation\nPoints\n\n\nS&P 500/Industry Average\n60%\nAverage Dependability\n2\n\n\nNon-Dependable Companies\n29% or below\nPoor Dependability\n1\n\n\nRelatively Dependable Companies\n29% to 64%\nBelow to Above-Average Dependability\n2\n\n\nVery Dependable Companies\n65% to 79%\nVery Dependable\n3\n\n\nExceptionally Dependable Companies\n80% or higher\nExceptional Dependability\n4\n\n\nAMZN\n80%\nExceptional Dependability\n4\n\n\n\nOverall Quality\n\n\n\nAMZN\nFinal Score\nRating\n\n\nSafety\n88%\n5/5\n\n\nBusiness Model\n80%\n3/3\n\n\nDependability\n80%\n4/4\n\n\nTotal\n83%\n12/12 Ultra SWAN\n\n\n\n(Source: DK Safety & Quality Tool) updated daily, sorted by overall quality\nThe DK 500 Master List includes the world's highest quality companies including:\n\nAll dividend champions\nAll dividend aristocrats\nAll dividend kings\nAll global aristocrats (such as BTI, ENB, and NVS)\nAll 12/12 Ultra Swans (as close to perfect quality as exists on Wall Street)\n\nAMZN: 123rd Highest Quality Master List Company (Out of 517) = 76th Percentile\n(Source: DK Safety & Quality Tool) updated daily, sorted by overall quality\nAMZN's 83% quality score means its similar in quality to such 11/12 Super Swans and 12/12 Ultra SWANs as:\n\nMerck (MRK)\nCardinal Health (CAH) - dividend aristocrat\nCostco (COST)\nGeneral Mills (GIS)\nNestle (OTCPK:NSRGY)\nMedtronic (MDT) - dividend aristocrat\nAtmos Energy (ATO) - dividend aristocrat\nBlackRock (BLK)\nAlphabet (GOOG)\nEnbridge (ENB) - global aristocrat\nAbbVie (ABBV) - dividend aristocrat\nBerkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)\n\nToday AMZN is of higher quality than 76% of the world's most elite companies.\nWhat makes Amazon so high quality?\nLet's start with its fortress balance sheet.\n(Source: GuruFocus Premium)\nAmazon's advanced accounting and solvency metrics all confirm almost zero short and long-term bankruptcy risk.

Ultimately,\n we assess investment as exceptional.\n\n\n Amazon’s capital deployment strategy centers around re-investing in the business and making generally small tuck-in acquisitions.\n The company does not pay a dividend or repurchase shares, nor do we expect them to over the next several years.\"- Morningstar (emphasis added)\n\nI define management quality by long-term capital allocation, as measured by profitability vs peers, as well as the dividend track record (for dividend stocks), and long-term total returns.

Amazon Isn't Right For Everyone\nNo company is right for everyone, and all have complex risk profiles that investors must understand and be comfortable with.\nFundamental Risk Profile\nWe believe that the uncertainty for Amazon is high and that despite being an e-commerce leader, the company faces a variety of risks.\nAmazon must protect its leading online retailing position, which can be challenging as consumer preferences change, especially post-COVID-19 (as consumers may revert back to prior behaviors), and traditional retailers bolster their online presence.\nMaintaining an e-commerce edge has pushed the company to make investments in non-traditional areas, such as producing content for its Prime Video subscriptions and building out its own transportation network.\nSimilarly, the company must also maintain an attractive value proposition for its third-party sellers. Some of these investment areas have raised investor questions in the past, and we expect management to continue to invest according to its strategy, despite periodic margin pressure from increased spending.\nThe company must also continue to invest in new offerings. AWS, transportation, and physical stores (both Amazon branded and Whole Foods) are three notable areas of investment. These decisions require capital allocation and management focus and may play out over a period of years rather than quarters.\nContinued international expansion will likely require similar investment and management attention but will also increase exposure to different regulatory environments.\nSome countries have instituted or may institute protectionist policies. Even domestically over the last several years, lawmakers from both parties have increasingly focused on the amount of market power large technology companies have accrued.\nAntitrust, data privacy, and section 230 have been repeatedly invoked.\nFrom an ESG perspective, data breaches and service outages are a concern for any type of cloud service provider.

Globus Medical</h2>\n<p>Globus is a medical device company that makes surgical instruments and implantable devices.

Microsoft</h2>\n<p>Tech giant Microsoft is an easy pick for long-term investors. The company provides businesses and individuals with many products and services that will be used for the foreseeable future. Its fastest-growing product is Azure, its cloud computing service where companies can build and test applications. Last quarter, for the first three months of 2021, its year-over-year growth rate was 50% -- highest among the company's segments.</p>\n<p>The cloud computing market is a high-growth sector to invest in, which could be worth more than $832 billion in 2025. It is already more prevalent than robotic-assisted surgery, but it is still growing at a strong CAGR of 17.5%.</p>\n<p>Microsoft also has a stable and growing business that is still generating great numbers. Its Office 365 suite, which includes popular programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, grew its commercial sales by 22% in the most recent quarter. And because Office365 is a recurring service, it should be an excellent source of revenue for the company as businesses and individuals renew their licenses.</p>\n<p>Now that companies are spending more time on the cloud, especially as employees look to continue working remotely, investing in businesses that have many attractive cloud-based products and services like Microsoft is a solid move. Shares of the tech stock are up 37% over the past year, and although they have underperformed the S&amp;P 500, investors shouldn't count on <i>that </i>trend lasting over the long term.</p>\n<h2>3. DraftKings</h2>\n<p>It has been more than three years since the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports betting. It is a hot new sector to invest in, and it's only getting bigger as more states choose to legalize it.</p>\n<p>Although not everyone has gotten on board with the industry, more than two dozen states now permit some form of sports betting. Globally, the market could be worth $134 billion by 2024 -- growing at a CAGR of close to 10%.</p>\n<p>One company that is in an excellent position to benefit from that is DraftKings. It entered into an exclusive deal with ESPN last year, which will make DraftKings its \"exclusive daily fantasy sports provider.\" While sports activity has been muted during the pandemic, as the economy gets back to normal and sports leagues are back to operating at or near capacity, it could lead to some stellar results for DraftKings this year.</p>\n<p>When the company released its latest results on May 7, it upgraded its guidance and now projects that sales could top $1.15 billion in 2021 (up from a previous forecast that called for no more than $1 billion in revenue).
