An Earnings Juggernaut?
Amazon.com (AMZN) lost money last year, and likely won’t make much this year. So how could I say its an earnings juggernaut? Here’s how:
Growth Radar

RAX is Always High
Gosh, Rackspace (RAX) is such a good stock — if you own it. If not, you’re always looking up, RAX is always too high to buy.
10% SSS Can’t Last
Vitamin Shoppe (VSI) is doing well becasue same store is strong. Still, I feel this stock is fully valued and people should invest in GNC (GNC) instead.
