Prominent investor Josh Brown, the co-founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management, recently told CNBC why he decided to add to his positions in Amazon (AMZN) and Uber (UBER).
Brown also explained his rationale for buying shares of mortgage provider Rocket Companies (RKT) for the first time.

Why Brown Added to His AMZN, UBER Holdings
Describing both AMZN and UBER as among his “core positions,” Brown stated that both firms “will be standing at the end of the trade war.” He believes that “buying Amazon after a 30% (decline) seems smart if you’re planning to be a long-term shareholder” of the company.
As far as Uber is concerned, Brown thinks that the company is worth $100 per share, well above the $67.50 level at which it’s currently trading.
RKT Is Well-Positioned for Rate Cuts, Brown Says
Noting that CNBC recently reported that the Fed could cut rates five times this year, Brown believes that RKT is “uniquely positioned” to benefit from such a development. That’s because, according to Brown, a significant number of rate cuts will produce “a refi boom,” and RKT has taken steps that will enable it to get a big lift from the latter phenomenon.
