If I were to invest my life in one company, it would be Amazon. Foreseeing where any company ends is
a fool's game, however, I can see that Amazon's next possible routes will see them bidding for viewing
rights of premier league teams for their video service. Alternatively, I see them directly supplying
infrastructure projects. Their potential growth is yet to be seen.
