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.

Happy Saturday, and welcome to a special holiday edition of the weekend update!
As we gear up for the big week ahead, I want to bring a market anomaly to your attention that could result in big profits for you.
I call these anomalies Reality Gaps. They occur whenever there is a wide discrepancy between the actual performance of a company and the performance of its stock.
Reality Gaps can occur for a variety of reasons, including earnings reports that punish or reward a stock more than they should, media hype or headline risk that creates undue volatility in a stock, and a number of other factors.
I've recently spotted a Reality Gap in one of the FAANG stocks that is well poised to correct itself. And when it does, it could mean big profits for anyone that gets in now.

The S&P500 has tacked on a remarkable 25.16% so far this year, yet many investors are acting as if the "other" shoe is going to drop just like it did last year right around this time.
Honestly, that's a fair concern.
The markets have been a one-way train higher since January 2019. The S&P 500, for example, has put in over 15 new record highs over the past 12 months.
The known risks – political instability, Chinese trade, regulatory changes, signs of a global slowdown – are all well understood. It's the unknown that'll get you every time.
Wall Street would have you believe that the most effective way to hedge against unknown market risk is to diversify your portfolio.
The theory is pretty elegant – or at least it's supposed to be.
Spread your money around, it says, and, in doing so, you'll reduce your risk, because "everything can't possibly go down at once."
Problem is… that's a load of self-serving hooey.
Today's markets are more correlated than they've ever been, thanks to a witches' brew of computerized trading, exchange-traded funds – ETF's for short – and leverage.
You've got to do something different if you want to get ahead...

It’s happened to all of us.
You’ve been talking to a spouse or friend about a product you need, then the next thing you know you’re bombarded with ads for it.
You can thank digital surveillance companies like Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) for the eerie intrusions into your privacy.
But Facebook’s days might be numbered with the launch of a new social media company…

According to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, he didn't intend to start a business. He merely wanted to solve a problem at Harvard by connecting people he cared about.
I was born in the middle of the night, just not last night.
I think there's a good case to be made that Zuckerberg and his team have lied about damn near everything. Repeatedly. Intentionally. Often.
I'm not alone, either.
A quick Internet search suggests the "Zuck" and his team have lied about so many things so often that they've lost track of the lies they've told.
That's very, very dangerous for investors.
Unless, of course, you're prepared for profits ahead of time...

Many believe the "FANG stocks" are supposed to trounce the market time and time again, no matter the market conditions.
That has not been the case in 2019 for one FANG Stock.
While the S&P 500 has steadily climbed 22% in 2019, this stock has lagged with just a 16% gain. Not bad by any means.
But underperforming the market is not what any investor sets out to do.
So does that mean we should avoid the FANGs? Not a chance.
This FANG stock is actually presenting an amazing value right now...

Could this FANG stock be "looking" at a potential rally?

The tech giants are in government crosshairs thanks to a series of antitrust cases popping up this year. Investors worry it could put a damper on profits or even split the companies up.
But while the FANG stocks come under fire, analysts predict solid growth for our top tech stock.
This company's net income grew 136% in 2019. And they're pushing even further in the coming year. This is the perfect tech buy following the big antitrust probes announced on Sept. 9.
