If you read the 10Ks (annual reports) available in 2001 for Monster, Apple, and Amazon. Which one would you have picked? This is really difficult to imagine as we know the outcome. As someone that doesn't live in US, I only knew Apple out of the three, might've heard about Amazon.

The thing is that you only need 1 stock like this during your entire investment career to generate superior returns. It's about letting your winners run.

Personally, I would never have invested in Amazon in 2001 and I probably won't have invested in Apple because the risk was still very high. Monster has a very predictably business model with high profit margins and high ROIC so I would pick that one.
You are right, I looked at their 2001 numbers and Monster is a straight line always generating cash. Thanks for your content!!! Sometimes you remind me of Terry Smith when looking for quality.
