Why AMZN Stock is Soaring

Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) stock is up more than 15% in midday trading, after an earnings report that predicted slowing growth and profits in Q3. So why are investors interested in a stock that will make less money - and may even post a loss?

Keith also shared a stock that he sees outperforming in this economy, and talked about how the GDP numbers highlight the "mess" Washington has created for the U.S. economy.
