Better Buy: Amazon vs. Dollar General
Both companies are leaders within their own markets. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the king of e-commerce, while Dollar General (NYSE: DG) is the powerhouse among dollar stores. Each outfit can -- and does -- perform in almost any economic environment, and both stocks have rewarded patient shareholders.
If there's only room for one of these picks in your portfolio right now, however, it's Amazon. Here's why.
Amazon needs no introduction. Digital Commerce 360 estimates the company controls around 40% of the United States' online-shopping market, while Canalys says Amazon Web Services remains the cloud computing market leader as measured by revenue. Last year's top line of $386 billion qualifies Amazon as one of the biggest companies in the world, as does its $1.5 trillion market cap.
