Many investors in Big Tech stocks were likely concerned when they heard that the Department of Justice had filed am antitrust suit against Google.
After all, antitrust rumors have dogged every Big Tech company for years.
But now it looks like regulators are getting serious.
While thing may look ominous, the chances are very good the Big Tech companies won't feel much pain from antitrust actions.
In fact, investors may well come out ahead…

Amazon.com Inc.
(NASDAQ: AMZN) is one of the most coveted, expensive tech stocks to buy now.
It's up 501% over the last five years.
Money Morning's Michael Robinson predicted Amazon stock would hit $3,000 in 2020.
It broke right through that.
Likewise, you don't need a crystal ball to give an Amazon stock price prediction for 2021.

There can be no question that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been one of the greatest stock stories of all time.
Since the end of the bursting of the internet bubble back in 2003, Apple shares have risen by more than 54,000%.
One thousand dollars invested in Apple back then is not worth more than $545,000.
If you had put $10,000 into the Apple IPO back in 1984, you would have a tidy $6.7 million today.
But why did the stock go down? .
Even though it's rallying today, is it still a buy?

Markets, equity markets in particular, are at a vulnerable place, today and the rest of this week. That's because the Mega-Cap Tech Darlings that have led the market higher are all at a similar inflection point – live or die, up or down.
What happens, which we'll find out before Friday's close, could delight or devastate markets.
Yesterday, the CEOs of Apple, Amazon.com, Facebook, and Google – whose companies are all under federal scrutiny – testified before the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee.
That the pandemic meant the whole thing was done via videoconference is just a footnote. Whether our antitrust laws, which were mostly passed or amended between 1890 and 1976, are adequate to address these 21st century questions and practices, is a story for another day.
Amazon's Jeff Bezos, as The Washington Post noted, hadn't appeared before Congress before, though Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai of Facebook, Apple, and Google are old hat at this by now.
What was said isn't necessarily important – or anything we haven't heard before in one form or another.
It's what happens next – today – that could get interesting… Full Story

It was in August of 2018 that Apple Inc. became the first trillion-dollar company in the U.S.
Just two years later, we have four trillion-dollar companies.
Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet all followed Apple into the trillion-dollar club.
And now three of the four (minus Alphabet) most valuable companies are more than halfway to the next milestone: $2 trillion.
Here's why each has a shot at getting there first - and what all this means for investors...

Congress is debating another round of stimulus payments to keep the economy afloat as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the United States.
And just like the last stimulus bill passed in March, this is going to be another excellent opportunity for investors who know where to look.
Stocks are up nearly 25% since the last stimulus bill passed on March 27, and up 44% if you count the week leading up to its passage.

The NASDAQ Composite is on fire – just off its all-time highs, but heading back in that direction in a hurry.
Whenever this happens – and it never fails – out come the skeptical analysts and professional bears to make gloomy claims about how it's "too late" to buy into the mighty FAANGs: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google/Alphabet, and, for good measure, Microsoft.
First, let me say, no, it's most definitely not too late to own these stocks. There's a reason the bears come out when the NASDAQ hits a high – and I'll tell you why today, so you know what to do next time the "experts" tell you these stocks have run their course.
I'm also going to show you the best FAANG-buying strategy I know of, so you can get in without paying full price… Full Story

While the market has made quite an amazing rally over the last few weeks, we are not out of the woods yet.
But regardless of where the market goes from here, there is one type of business I can always count on: e-commerce.
And that's especially true in today's world.
In short, e-commerce is saving the day and giving people the ability to stay in their homes.
This is why I am looking to invest in this unstoppable trend with this backdoor play...

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that everyone knows that Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a true juggernaut.
From its humble beginnings as an online bookseller, it now commands a retail, cloud, logistics and content empire that many say single-handedly put shopping malls out of business.
That means Amazon isn't just one of the biggest companies in the world, it's also its biggest disrupter.
Legacy companies trying to compete with Amazon are living on borrowed time.
Here are three that are already at risk...

Stock prices do not always reflect reality.
Stocks actually have a real value that underlies the price listed on the exchange.
And we have good reason to believe one FANG stock is undervalued by the market right now.
Whether or not a stock's price reflects its actual value greatly depends on one factor: the public's level of enthusiasm.
But there's some good news to this gap between perception and reality.
The gap actually creates opportunities for savvy investors.
