Amazon: Still Packing Prime Growth Under the Hood?
Could the Market Be Selling Amazon Short? Amazon. The very name conjures images of parcels, cloud servers, and voice assistants that never quite understand you. Yet behind the familiar brand lies a growth machine that's quietly retooling itself — and, in my view, being significantly underestimated by the market. With a market cap tipping just over $2 trillion and a trailing P/E of 34, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ might not scream ‘bargain bin’. But peel back the layers, and a much more compelling story emerges: a diversified tech juggernaut transitioning into its second golden age.

The Trade Desk: Why Tariffs Are Just Static on the Signal
Privacy, Premium Streams, and Profit Margins Could Power a Rebound $Trade Desk Inc.(TTD)$ has certainly been roughed up in recent months, its share price plunging 52.09% year-to-date and nearly 32% from its February peak alone.

$XIAOMI-W(01810)$ AI Sentiment Summary Over the past 10 sessions, the price initially declined from 44.25 to 41.25, with sentiment turning negative mid-period.

This is all typical national parrotting straight from the neoclassical textbook, and/or blaming anybody but themselves for NZ's absolute basket case of an economy. If they hadn't destroyed 1000s of public sectors jobs in Wellington AND THE the ripple through effects that have rendered our capital city a ghost town, there would be much less need of talk about "job creation". As for cutting red tape, WHAT red tape?? NZ is the easiest place in the OECD to start a business, close it, register it, list it, bankrupt it... Whatever. 28 years resident in this NOT developed country and still waiting for somebody, anybody to challenge governments' ALWAYS simplified and nearly always patently wrong rubbish about how best to "fix" the economy.
