Better Buy: Amazon vs. Dollar General
They're both great companies, to be sure. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the king of e-commerce, while Dollar General (NYSE: DG) has chiseled out a place for itself in the brick-and-mortar retailing world by doing things differently than Walmart.
Both stocks have performed well, too. Dollar General is up more than 200% for the past five years, while Amazon has gained well over 300% for the same timeframe. Most investors would he happy with either result, and there's little reason to think both names won't continue to do well.
If there's only room for one of these stocks in your portfolio, though, right now it's got to be Amazon.
