Why Jim Cramer Won't Buy Amazon Here
Jim Cramer says he won't buy Amazon (AMZN) - Get Report for his charitable trust right now because the online retailer's price-to-earnings ratio is just too high -- and because his trust already owns two other FAANG stocks.
"I want to address why the club has refrained from starting a position Amazon even as you hear me say I like it very much on TV and in my writings on [TheStreet's premium site] Real Money," Cramer said in his latest private monthly call with members of his Action Alerts PLUS club for investors.
"We've held off from adding Amazon in the past because of its expensive earnings multiple," he said. "We don't want to pay up at this current price."
