Better Buy: Amazon.com Inc. vs. Baidu Inc.

Let's rewind a decade. In mid-August 2007, you could have bought shares of a fledgling Chinese search engine named Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) for just $17.50. At the same time, an online bookstore that was just starting to gain traction as an "Everything Store" in e-commerce named Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) was trading for a paltry $75 per share.

Since then, their returns have been the rarest of beasts: 10-baggers. In other words, $10,000 invested in either one is now worth over $100,000.
