Amazon.com for Finding Winning Consumer Products and Investments

Interested in knowing which company's products resonate with customers? Go to Amazon.com and monitor which products are the bestsellers on the site. If you are interested in investing in companies making winning products such as the iPod, Crocs, Uggs, OXO, Tempur-Pedic, and others, you can take the pulse of your favorite brands on Amazon.com.

On the site, you will find out how products rank with customers, and you will also discover emerging products. By listening to Amazon.com's consumers through reviews, comments, and forums, you will learn what makes a product a winner and it could lead you to a very profitable investment. You can also initiate discussions with a product's users by asking questions directly to the reviewers or to the product's forum community.

For example, take a look at the star ratings below to see what people think of Crocs. At the time of writing this post, Bigger Capital had an investment in Crocs (CROX).

 

How do OXO products score with reviewers on Amazon.com? At the time of writing this post, Bigger Capital had an investment in Helen of Troy (HELE) owner of the OXO brand.

My Recent Inflation Tweets

@StockTwits Fed will say we will print more money. ;-) $fed

@eWEATHER I like alpha hunter so far, but pretty oblivious to the inflation storm brewing on the horizon! How much $ can Washington print?

What are Americans seeing that I am not? I clearly see a country going over the cliff in the next few years. WTF am I missing?

David Dreman: "The Fed will comtinue printing money. Expect interest rates on long Treasurys to approach double digit within 3 years." OUCH!

Yes for lean hogs futures! RT @AllJimRogers: We Are Probably Going To Have A Food Crisis In The Next 5 To 6 Years http://bit.ly/6WAaqQ
