Why Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Stock Is My Largest Personal Holding

If, over the next 20 years, 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) printing technology continues to develop, and prices for these printers fall to an affordable level, people might find no need to order things from Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). Instead of buying the latest piece of furniture online, people could print out the requisite parts at home and assemble them for a fraction of the cost.

Move ahead Foolishly
I don’t see the threat from 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) printers as being serious for quite some time. That’s why I own shares of Stratasys, but it occupies only 3% of my holdings.

When it comes to Amazon stock, I think it’s a must-own for many investors, depending on how familiar and comfortable you are with the company. Shares are certainly a little pricey right now, so buying a little while waiting for a pullback, or becoming more familiar with the company, would be a good idea.
