If you could have invested in Amazon or Domino’s Pizza back in 2010, which would you have picked?
If you said Amazon, you would have earned a return of 1,890%. If you picked Domino’s Pizza, you would have earned a return of 5,630%.
Surprised? I was too! It’s one of the many reasons why we at Artemis don’t pick individual stocks, but instead use low-cost index funds to implement all client portfolios.

Why brand is an asset worth investing in?
On June 16th 2017 Amazon bought Whole Foods for $13.7bn
Amazon paid $42 per share in an all-cash deal, representing a 27% premium over Whole Foods' closing price of $33 before the announcement. Three months earlier their share price was $28.
So why did Amazon pay so much above the market price?
Large reason was the brand!
Brand value is considered an intangible asset, along with other elements like intellectual property and goodwill. Companies with strong brands often have higher intangible asset valuations, which can significantly impact their stock prices.
In a world where we are looking to drive tangibility and measurability, brand is an investment in an intangible asset. But the stock market proves it is an investment worth making!!!

Thrilled that after three years of reporting my new book “The Everything War: Amazon’s Ruthless Quest to Own the World and Remake Corporate Power” I can finally start sharing parts with readers before its release next week!
My first excerpt appeared in The Wall Street Journal this weekend. It showed how Amazon recruited a Trader Joe’s manager to work on its private label food brand. On her first week at the company, she stumbles upon a secretive room with brown paper covering the windows and doors that is filled with Trader Joe’s snack boxes. From there, the employee is pressured to give her manager internal Trader Joe’s documents. “You just have to give us the data!” he yells at her.
The environment at Amazon where every year employees are cut from an already all-star pool of talent at a company with unprecedented access to data meant that accessing data to gain an edge—as well as using other tactics to hurt competition—was a powerful way to stay ahead and make it to their restricted stock units. There are loads of examples in the book where this dynamic plays out.
As regulators around the world decry the company as being too big, Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy has told his senior leaders it isn’t big enough. Jassy recently told his deputies that Amazon could become a $10 trillion company—the world’s largest by valuation—over the next decade.
This is truly just a sliver of what the book unearths about one of the world’s most powerful and feared companies. Can’t wait for you all to read the entire book.

As much as Amazon as both a business and a consumer makes me appreciate the ingenuity of the business model, their dominance in retail and apparent monopoly is a concern not just for us but many.
They control around 40% of US online shopping - an insane amount of market power.
We've all heard how Amazon reverse-engineers competitors and then breaks their strategy. But they allegedly had an entire "secret war room" just to analyse Trader Joe's top 200 products.
What surprises me is Amazon choosing to bombard a player like Trader's Joe which might be only a fraction of what Amazon is.
This is an interesting article questioning Amazon's dominance and the power it withholds which they don't shy away from using with an intensity that tells that they are going after every competition, big or small.
