We will see some excitement, though, and some profits, if we trade smartly. So here's what you've really got to watch out for now and through the end of 2015...

For two consecutive Cyber Mondays, the Amazon stock price has closed lower than its opening price. It looks like it will do the same in 2015.

Will There Finally Be a Chance to Invest in Blue Origin Stock?

Many investors are eager to invest in Blue Origin stock – especially after today's news…

The private spaceflight company, headed up by Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos, just made history. It launched a rocket into space and then recovered the rocket completely intact in a controlled descent.

Rocket recovery has never been done before. The maneuver means massively reduced launch costs because it's a step toward ending U.S. dependence on Russia's "one-and-done" pricey, single-use rockets.

"Rockets have always been expendable. Not anymore. Now safely tucked away at our launch site in West Texas is the rarest of beasts, a used rocket," Bezos wrote in a blog post yesterday.

There's a bright future ahead for Blue Origin – but can investors take advantage?

Here's what we know...

Amazon.com's Most Impressive Legal Wins (Nasdaq: AMZN)

Retail giant Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) tends to win even the most damning court cases, which is bad news for obvious crooks on Fiverr.com.

You see, the online retail giant is taking over 1,000 fake reviewers to court in order to save the company's reputation and integrity, just days ahead of AMZN earnings.

Judging by the company's past litigation victories, these "reviewers" would do well to run and hide...

Amazon Stock Untarnished After CEO Jeff Bezos Defends Workplace (Nasdaq: AMZN)

Even though Amazon Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) suffered a PR hit over the weekend, Amazon stock emerged Monday unscathed. An hour into trading at 10:30 a.m. ET, AMZN stock was flat at $530.34 a share (-0.22%).

The New York Times ran a scathing story Saturday about the largest American Internet-based retailer. Therein, testimonials from 100 current and former employees depicted a "bruising" workplace, where employees are expected to "toil long and late," and where workers suffering from personal crises, including cancer, miscarriage, and bereavement, are simply edged out.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' attempt to swoop in on damage control appears to have done the trick -- take a look at this memo he sent out over the weekend...
