Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) – Dividends or Growth: What Is in Your Portfolio?

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime members spend twice the amount of non-members, and it collects the membership fees of $79/year. 92% of Prime members plan to renew their membership. Morningstar analyst R.J Hottovey expects a 250% increase in Prime members by 2017.

AmazonFresh is the same idea as Prime, except with groceries. Free same day delivery will be made for orders of more than $35, and the company looks to capture as much of the $850 billion market that they can.

Simply put, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has cash – and lots of it. Morningstar expects the smartphone market to double between 2011 and 2014. The point is, if Apple simply keeps up with the smartphone market, they will have even more cash than they do now. With more than half of their revenues coming from iPhones, this can only be good for the tech giant.

The company already has a dividend yield of 2.7%, and will be releasing an additional $100 billion to shareholders by 2015. There are a lot of shareholders, but $100 billion is a lot of money. Amazingly, they could release all this money today and still have approximately $50 billion left. This could be the dividend stock of the future.

The bottom line

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) have huge potential for growth in upcoming years. These companies may not be the cheapest companies around, but with the growth they are experiencing, and the potential for much more, it may be worth the money. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has a mountain of cash that will be released to shareholders in the next year and a half. There are no signs that Apple will mysteriously stop making money, and that is promising for investors.
