Step Out of Your Investing Comfort Zone: Buying High-Priced Stocks

The latest edition of the Finance Trends Newsletter was sent out to subscribers on Thursday. If you would like to join our free email list and receive new updates, please subscribe via the title link. Our latest email report, " Going Outside Your Investing Comfort Zone " provides a brief update to this week's Amazon ( AMZN ) and Google ( GOOGL ) post. Namely, the question of how to step up to the plate and buy such high-priced stocks as they cross the $100, $200, or even the rarefied $1,000 per share mark. Here is an excerpt from our latest email update:  "...

Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOGL) near the $1,000 mark

Amazon ( AMZN ) and Google ( GOOGL ) are set to join the $1000 per share club.  We last spoke of AMZN and GOOGL in our late April roundup of leading tech stocks making new highs .  You can also check our 2013 post, " Amazon: Long-Term AMZN Charts and Thoughts ", and revisit a time earlier in this bull market when the stock was trading near $350 a share.  One of my great errors of omission (failure to act) was in not purchasing AMZN shares after writing this post. The share price continued to climb steadily ( in fact, it has since tripled ) , confirming all the basic factors (retail dominance, AWS growth) laid out at that time.  Now, I am slowly retraining myself to act on my analysis , even when it comes to buying very "high-priced" shares such as AMZN , PCLN , etc. As I remind myself lately, you don't need to take on a very large position, just buy a few shares and participate in the uptrend.
