To trace the trajectory of Amazon is to recount the tale of a seed that broke through the dense soil of the early internet age, shooting forth into an ever-expanding jungle of commerce. Since its public debut in 1997, priced at a mere $0.075 per share, it has blossomed into something unparalleled, something almost mythical. The world it created for itself has allowed a single dollar to metamorphose into nearly three million-a transformation that, by any measure, is extraordinary. Over the past decade, as the world trudged onward, Amazon leapt, its stock price swelling by more than 700%, while the S&P 500, in its own right, moved just a fraction of that distance.
