1 Green Flag for Amazon in 2022, and 1 Red Flag
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ KEY POINTS Amazon's online sales are slowing down. Cloud infrastructure is being built by Amazon Web Services worldwide. The e-commerce giant has a more important division than its consumer-facing one. Since the turn of the century, few stocks have provided returns likeAmazon. From Jan. 1, 2000, the stock has returned an impressive 4,050%, easily outpacing the market. However, since July 2020, Amazon's stock has been relatively flat, only returning 10%, whereas theS&P 500is up around 50%. As we move further into 2022, Amazon's stock will need to outperform to catch up to the market average. A closer look at Amazon's 2021 earnings reveals both good and bad news about its potential to do this. With the stock price currently down

$Lucid Group Inc(LCID)$ Here's the crazy thing about the markets. You would think that with the price of gas going through the roof, EVs would be one sector growing in leaps and bounds. But the opposite is true. EVs getting crushed for the most part for weeks now. Nothing is forever but just goes to show logic doesn't always play out. I still believe that EVs are the future and those car manufacturers that don't make the transition will be out of business in the next 10-15 years.

Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology
$AMD(AMD)$$Micron Technology(MU)$ KEY POINTS Micron Technology stock has been outperforming Advanced Micro Devices so far in 2022.

Has this stock reached it's yearly low? I hope so (since I'm invested in it). What I hope more is that the market is not too much influenced by these (for MSFT irrelevant) struggles between Russia & Ukraine because, at this point after 2 weeks of will they/wont they, I think the ship of invasion has long sailed by now. This is about Russia who does not want Ukraine to join NATO, for economic reasons (=oil). They don't have much to gain from all out war, however they can gain by keeping the pressure of war high, which they are doing, until a political decision is make with EU/US/Ukraine, which is still many weeks away from us. SO I hope panic sellers have sold by now (they can't sell twice) and that we can get back to more rational stock pricings, at least until mid March when rates wil
Why Growth and Returns are Surprisingly High for Microsoft
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ Microsoft Corporation(NASDAQ:MSFT) has endured the test of time, and the company has been creating value for over 45 years. This may push investors into fearing that Microsoft might have features of an older company, however our metrics indicate that the company is growing and delivering high returns. In today's market situation, fear of losing money is starting to overcome the fear of missing out. This pushes us to look for safe havens and ensure the stability of a portfolio before looking for new future frontiers. Even though Microsoft is a mature company, it seems that they have kicked off in the right direction after theirCEO Staya Nadella took office in 2014. This has resulted in the company taking smart projects and acquisitio
