Amazon is the lover you never want leave

Amazon is still young, too young in fact to be your lover. At Amazon it is still in Day 1 of it’s life, as Bezos writes in his 2017 shareholder letter "Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death, and that is why it is always Day 1.”

Obsessively customer focused, “Our vision is to be Earth’s most customer-centric company” Bezos writes, Amazon is the lover who makes sure every box of yours is checked before it’s over. 

The e-commerce giant is engrained into our daily lives in such a way that if a serious competitor emerged, it would be hard to switch customers from its ever expanding range of business. People know Amazon, and they know to find another who can meet all of their needs to the degree in which they are currently met will be nearly impossible. 

Their service is so wide ranging, that as an investor you have no choice but to hold on and enjoy the ride, knowing that what comes next may be a pleasant surprise. While as an investor Amazon Web Services is the what you always come back for, with $17.2 billion in revenue last year alone, and a nearly 50% market share (second is Microsoft Azure with 7%), they have a range of revolutionary products coming down the pipeline like Amazon Prime Now (Two hour delivery) and Amazon Go (Cashierless/Waitless shopping experience), and the best has yet to come. These services create an expectation which ends up transforming business as we know it, as described in this NerdWriter video: 

Just like the lover you’ll never leave, Amazon will discover, create, and learn new things you never thought were possible, execute them in perfect fashion, and transform the environment they perform in forever, making them a staple in your life.
