I honestly believe that otc is not an easy one
If one understand the risks vs reward then it is a win or lose
Having said that I am not afraid to lose
I have gained more than I have lost overall
Therefore limiting myself to fear of the unknown is out if the equation.

UPS Bets on Amazon, for Now
8/11/19, 3:58 PM
As FedEx Corp. stops shipping Amazon.com Inc. packages, United Parcel Service Inc. mulls a similar question to the one its delivery rival just faced: grow alongside one of the world's largest shippers or cut off a looming competitor?
For now, UPS is retaining close ties to Amazon, one of its largest customers. The Atlanta-based shipping giant gets close to 10% of its revenue from Amazon, according to a Morgan Stanley estimate, a figure that could grow as the online retailer seeks new carriers for the packages that once went to FedEx.
The decision could pose risks down the road, if Amazon is able to build out its own delivery network enough that it can cast aside UPS, the U.S. Postal Service and any other regional shippers. Losing that big of a customer could hurt UPS by depriving it of a large chunk of revenue and volume to fill -- and pay for -- its vast package-delivery network.
But UPS currently retains some power in the relationship, especially as Amazon nears the all-important holiday shipping season, when it will have to lean on outside carriers to meet its shipping needs.
"Amazon doesn't have anyone to turn to right now to replace UPS to the extent they need to," said John Haber, chief executive of supply-chain consulting firm Spend Management Experts.
Unlike UPS, FedEx had winnowed down its exposure to Amazon to just 1.3% of overall revenue last year, or around $ 900 million in shipping.
FedEx has said the decision to not renew the two contracts with Amazon reflects its strategy to partner more closely with other e-commerce shippers, from large retailers like Target Corp. and Walmart Inc. to small- and medium- size businesses.
The carrier is betting that it can replace Amazon's business, which is generally at a lower profit margin because of volume discounts, with more profitable business from smaller shippers.
UPS already appears to be filling much of the void as Amazon moves away from FedEx, which this week said it would stop shipping Amazon packages through its Ground network after earlier stopping Express deliveries by planes.
In its second quarter, UPS reported a 30% jump in its next-day air-shipping volume, which came as FedEx wound down its air service offered to Amazon. While UPS doesn't discuss specific customer shifts, analysts believe the increase is largely attributed to onboarding Amazon packages on planes.
An Amazon spokeswoman said, "UPS continues to be a great partner in serving Amazon customers." The company anticipates being able to fulfill its orders through a combination of its own delivery infrastructure and outside carriers.
"We have strategic partners who are part of our long term plan and we appreciate what they do for customers," Dave Clark, Amazon's senior vice president of world-wide operations, said in a tweet last week.
Nice read!
UPS declined to comment on its relationship with Amazon. It has said that no customer makes up more than 10% of revenue. A spokesman said the company "is realizing strong growth, concurrently generating improved operating leverage and creating value through new product solutions that help all our customers grow and succeed, from the smallest to the largest."
As UPS takes on those packages, FedEx is fighting to sign on new customers, including some that have long used UPS, according to shipping consultants. Citi analyst Christian Wetherbee expects that FedEx will use the fact that it has detached itself from Amazon as a selling point to pick up other shippers.
The U.S. Postal Service, which on Friday reported a decline in package volume for the first time in nine years, says its delivery rivals are offering discounts to convince shippers to join their network. The strategy is depriving the quasigovernmental agency of critical volume and revenue needed to fund operations, agency officials said.
Postmaster General Megan Brennan said the carriers are "aggressively pricing their products and services in order to fill their networks and grow package density."
Patrick Fitzgerald, FedEx's senior vice president of marketing and communications, said the company's pricing is based on the services it offers for each customer, which is "often discounted for volume, which is a standard industry practice."
It is adding business with new services like the ability to pick up shipments late in the evening that can be delivered the next day and the coming launch of Sunday delivery.
"FedEx continues to introduce major innovation to residential e-commerce delivery and our customers are taking notice," Mr. Fitzgerald said.

Funding Local delivery drivers
FedEx to End Ground Deliveries for Amazon -- 3rd Update
8/7/19, 2:17 PM
FedEx Corp. said it was ending its contract to deliver Amazon.com Inc. packages through its ground network, essentially severing ties with one of the world's biggest shippers.
The delivery giant said Wednesday it decided not to renew the contract when it expires at the end of August. In June, FedEx said it was ending its air-shipping contract with Amazon in the U.S. but would continue to handle ground deliveries. FedEx would still handle international shipments.
The moves are evidence of escalating tensions between the longtime partners as the e-commerce giant builds its own delivery network, including leasing cargo planes, buying trucks and funding local delivery drivers.
While it is walking away from the largest e-commerce player in the U.S., FedEx is positioning itself as a go-to carrier for the broader world of retailers that aim to compete with Amazon.
"This change is consistent with our strategy to focus on the broader e-commerce market, which the recent announcements related to our FedEx Ground network have us positioned extraordinarily well to do," FedEx said in a statement.
FedEx's decision will require Amazon to find a new way to handle millions of packages ahead of the critical holiday shopping season at the same time Amazon is looking to speed many home deliveries to one-day shipping.
Amazon will redistribute packages among its other carriers and its own network, according to a person familiar with the matter. Amazon doesn't anticipate any disruptions to its new Prime one-day shipping speeds as a result of FedEx severing its relationship with Amazon, the person said.
The retail giant already appears to have wound down much of its business with FedEx. According to the parcel consulting firm SJ Consulting Inc., Amazon used its own drivers to deliver 45% of its July orders, the U.S. Postal Service for 28% and United Parcel Service Inc. for 21%. FedEx, according to the firm, didn't register any deliveries in July.
The once-staid delivery business has been upended in recent years as consumers buy everything from toilet paper to trampolines online, causing a surge in e-commerce shipments. FedEx and UPS have invested billions of dollars to handle the increased volumes. FedEx recently said it would expand to seven-day home delivery.
Although Amazon ships millions of packages a day, it spreads the orders among FedEx, UPS and the Postal Service, as well as its own growing delivery operations. FedEx said Amazon represented 1.3% of FedEx's total revenue in 2018, or less than $1 billion.
"Nothing but respect for FedEx, but they were very small piece of our network and vice versa," Dave Clark, Amazon's senior vice president of operations, said in a tweet. He called it "conscious uncoupling at its finest," referring to the term Gwyneth Paltrow used to describe her divorce from musician Chris Martin.
Without a contract, Amazon could still send items using FedEx, but it wouldn't be at a favorable rate. Amazon third-party sellers who fulfill their own packages are still able to ship using FedEx.
For years, FedEx executives have played down the threat to their core business from Amazon's logistics efforts. They said it would be costly to replicate FedEx's global network and e-commerce was a small slice of the company's volumes. More recently, FedEx executives have talked about their plans to carry a growing volume of e-commerce packages.
"It is clear that we are all-in on e-commerce," FedEx Chief Operating Officer Rajesh Subramaniam said on a recent earnings call.
When FedEx ended its air-shipping contract, the company said it planned to focus on serving other retailers such as Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. Meanwhile, UPS reported a surge in the volume of packages going through its air network in the June-ended quarter.
FedEx, which only recently added Saturday ground deliveries, plans to offer seven-day residential delivery in the U.S. next year. With the change, FedEx plans to bring to customers' doorsteps many of the packages it currently drops at local post offices. The shift will seek to lower costs by building density along FedEx Ground routes, while also shifting some two million packages daily out of the Postal Service's network.
The 2013 holiday season was a turning point in Amazon's own shipping ambitions. Amazon orders overwhelmed carriers in the U.S., leading to missed orders and frustrated customers. The company began earnestly building out its own last- mile network to handle the overflow of orders while pushing for speedier delivery times.
Since then, Amazon has more than doubled the number of facilities in the U.S. to more than 400, according to data from supply-chain consulting firm MWPVL International Inc., including delivery stations and sorting centers within reach of most major metropolitan centers. At the same time, it has built a network of its own drivers who can deliver inside homes and built robots to drop off packages by ground and air.
Amazon's ambitions extend beyond its own site. The company has sought to haul and deliver packages for other retailers and consumers, encroaching on the carriers' turf. Last year, the company started the "Shipping with Amazon" service to first serve the company's independent merchants with the aim to expand to outside businesses on a national scale.
But Amazon faces a steep climb if it wants to match FedEx or UPS in shipping prowess. Analysts have estimated it would need tens of billions of dollars in investment, thousands of trucks, hundreds of planes and thousands of sorting centers to handle the billions of packages it ships each year.

MW UPDATE: Jeff Bezos sells $1.8 billion worth of Amazon stock this week
8/1/19, 3:31 PM
By Steve Goldstein and Tomi Kilgore, MarketWatch
Amazon founder and CEO still owns about 12% of the shares outstanding, valued at nearly $108 billion
Jeff Bezos has gone on a bit of a selling spree.
The chairman and chief executive of Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) has sold 968,148 shares worth $1.84 billion over the past three days, according to disclosures made in Securities and Exchange Commission filings late Wednesday night (https:// www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001018724&owner=include&count=40).
According to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/angelauyeung/2019/07/31/jeff-bezos-sells-about-18-billion-worth-of- amazon-shares-in-three-days/#7944856c4c36), this may be his largest-ever stock sale in dollar terms. Bezos, the founder of space exploration company Blue Origin and owner of The Washington Post, sold the stock in conjunction with a pre- arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, the SEC filing said.
Bezos remains by far the e-commerce and cloud giant's largest shareholder, as he still owns 58.1 million Amazon shares, SEC filings show, which at current stock prices would be valued at about $107.8 billion. That would still make Bezos the world's richest human, as the Bloomberg Billionaires Index had Microsoft Corp.(MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates worth $107 billion through Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Bezos's divorce settlement (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/mackenzie-bezos-to-receive-25-of- amazon-stock-jointly-owned-with-jeff-bezos-in-divorce-settlement-2019-04-04) had MacKenzie Bezos receiving 25% of their jointly held Amazon stock, or 4% of the shares outstanding. At the time, that made MacKenzie the fourth wealthiest woman in the world (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/mackenzie-bezos-to-receive-25-of-amazon-stock-jointly-owned-with-jeff- bezos-in-divorce-settlement-2019-04-04), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Amazon's stock fell 0.7% in afternoon trading Thursday, reversing earlier intraday gains of as much as 1.7%. That puts the stock on track to suffer a six-session losing streak, in which it has shed 7.3% in the aftermath of disappointing second-quarter results (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/amazons-run-of-record-earnings-comes-to-an-end-and-the-stock- is-falling-2019-07-25). The timing of Bezos's share sales have worked out so far, as the current price is well below the weighted-average price that the shares were sold:
Date Number of shares sold Weighted average stock price of share sales Value of shares sold July 29 322,716 $1,904.99$614.77 millionJuly 30 322,716 $1,901.31$613.58 millionJuly 31 322,716 $1890.96$610.24 million Total 968,148 $1,899.09$1.84 billionU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, MarketWatch
Amazon shares have climbed 23.4% year to date, making the company the third-most valuable company by market capitalization at $917.1 billion. In comparison, the Nasdaq Composite has climbed 22.5% and the S&P 500 index has gained 18.1%.

Amazon Is Gaining in Deliveries at the Post Office's Expense, Analyst Says -- Barrons.com
7/9/19, 12:16 PM
Amazon Prime members can receive some package in one day instead of two, and a broader rollout is on the way.
That's good news for Amazon.com (ticker: AMZN), but not for the U.S. Postal Service, one analyst says. "We expect Amazon's move to Prime 1-day delivery will drive higher conversion rates, leading to accelerating unit growth in the second half of 2019 and into 2020," wrote Cowen analyst John Blackledge in a note on Monday.
He expects Amazon to be one of a number of third-party distributors that will continue to take a significant share of the U.S. market for "last mile" deliveries, those that bring a package to its final destination, typically someone's residence.
Amazon's additional market share -- and gains in merchandise sales and revenue -- will come largely at the expense of the U.S. Postal Service, Blackledge said.
Growth in the volume of parcels delivered by the post office dropped from 21% in 2016 to 6% in 2018. There was a 5% year-over-year decline in the first quarter of 2019, according to post-office figures the analyst cited.
The decline comes as Amazon ramps up some of its faster shipping programs and shifts to other options for last-mile deliveries. Blackledge estimates that the share of Amazon's last-mile deliveries handled by the postal service will drop from about 54% in 2018 to about 35% in 2024. His previous estimate was for a share of 45% in 2024.
The postal service didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other players, such as DHL International, and Amazon affiliates including its Uber-like in-house program Amazon Flex, and its Delivery Service Partner program, are picking up that market share.
Cowen estimates that these other distributors combined will account for 23% of Amazon's delivery volume in 2019. The total will rise to 43% by 2024, Cowen predicted.
Blackledge maintained a Outperform rating on the stock and a price target of $2,500.
Amazon stock was up 0.8% to $1968 on Tuesday morning.

Amazon In-Sourcing Nearly Half Of Its Transportation Needs
6/28/19, 12:31 PM
June 28, 2019 12:08 PM ET (BZ Newswire) -- News
More numbers have emerged on exactly how quickly Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) disruption of the transportation and logistics is proceeding.
On Thursday, Rakuten Intelligence reported that in the months of March and April Amazon carried as much as 45 percent of its own shipments. Rakuten Intelligence is the big data and business intelligence subsidiary of Rakuten, the electronic payments and e-commerce giant of Japan.
In January 2017, Amazon was handling just 15 percent of its own shipments.
"During the 2016 holiday season, Amazon handled 8 percent of its final-mile shipments – that number increased to 20 percent in 2017 and to 30 percent in 2018," Rakuten reported. "This year, in March and April – an off-peak time of the year – Amazon is carrying as much as 45 percent of its own shipments. In just a few years, the largest online retailer has methodically shifted its share of volume from carriers like USPS to its in-house delivery service."
(Chart: Rakuten Intelligence)
Amazon now employs more people than FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX), UPS Inc. (NYSE:UPS), or the United States Postal Service, according to Rakuten. Amazon's headcount now tops 648,000, growing its work force by 5.5 times since 2013.
Armstrong & Associates pointed out in its yearly 3PL report that if Amazon was considered a third-party logistics provider — and we think it should be — it would have the second-largest warehousing operation in the world after DHL Supply Chain and Global Forwarding. Amazon manages about 233 million square feet of warehouse space, more than XPO (190 million) and less than DHL (248 million).
Amazon freight flows through that logistics infrastructure network — which now totals more than 390 structures, according to Rakuten — on 50 planes, 300 trucking power units, and 20,000 Sprinter vans. Thousands of Amazon trailers, now a common sight on U.S. interstate highways, are being hauled by Amazon's contracted carriers, many of them sourced through Amazon's digital freight brokerage platform.
Several American transportation companies have been caught off guard by the explosive growth of Amazon's logistics capabilities. XPO Logistics Inc (NYSE:XPO) guided revenue down when Amazon pulled hundreds of millions of dollars worth of postal injection business from the less-than-truckload carrier. FedEx, which had considered Amazon a valuable customer just a year ago, publicly broke up with the e-commerce retailer earlier this month, saying that its Express division — its largest business unit consisting of air cargo and next-day delivery — would no longer do business with Amazon.
FreightWaves' proprietary research group, Freight Intel, has published an in-depth study of Amazon's impact on the transportation and logistics sector, research that is now live on the FreightWaves SONAR platform. One of the findings from that study suggested that trucking carriers perceived Amazon's entry into freight brokerage more negatively than they perhaps should, while shippers were not taking the threat seriously. The theory was that Amazon would have to pay carriers something close to market rates to ensure that capacity showed up, while any shipper using Amazon's logistics services would be foolish to give up control of its supply chain data and freight to one of its most ruthless competitors.
However, recent reporting by Business Insider has confirmed that indeed, Amazon is paying trucking carriers below-market rates and that drivers who are happy to order personal goods from the e-commerce company are unwilling to haul freight for it.
Even as Amazon has gradually raised rates on its Prime subscriptions by 50%, from about $80 to $120, its operations have gotten sloppiers as it has scaled. According to Rakuten, in 2017, about 5% of items arrived late, while in 2019, that number had tripled to 15%.
Amazon Prime's performance has been more or less efficient over the years as Amazon uses it as a high-pressure laboratory to understand and work through the bottlenecks in its network.
According to one ex-Amazon executive who corresponded with FreightWaves, Amazon's in-sourcing of its logistics capabilities was initially driven by fear. Amazon did not want transportation capacity to constrain its growth, and feared its lack of control over a fragmented, volatile industry.
Amazon entered transportation to survive, is now disrupting the industry by disintermediating its previous transportation providers, and has already begun monetizing the network built up, leveraging a stealth-mode digital brokerage platform to generate revenue by filling backhauls and repositioning its trailers.
"That's the true Amazon flywheel: disintermediate to survive; monetize to fund innovation; innovate to grow; disintermediate to survive," the executive wrote to FreightWaves.

RushNet, Inc. (RSHN), XYZ Hemp, Inc. (GRPS) and Apple Rush Company, Inc. Succeed in its Testing of CBD Enhanced Juice and Other Products; and Other Updates
12/12/18, 11:03 AM
Palm Coast, FL, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE-- RushNet, Inc. (OTC Pink: RSHN), Apple Rush Company, Inc., and XYZ Hemp Inc. (OTC Pink: GRPS) jointly announce its successful testing of CBD enhanced blueberry flavored Apple Rush and beer.
Dr. Richard E Goulding, Chairman of the Board and Chief Medical Officer of both RushNet and XYZ Hemp Inc. (formerly Gold River Production Services, Inc.), stated, “The three companies continue its endeavored joint creation, production and marketing initiative. The initiative enhances beverages and other products with full-spectrum CBD, while maintaining the quality and taste unique to Apple Rush products and those of Florida Brewery Co. Inc. (manufacturer and distributor of domestically and internationally distributed beers), with pristine water. The successful CBD infusion was orchestrated, in principal part, by the sister facility in Palisade, Colorado, charging the beverages with full-spectrum CBD (not just CBD isolates). On the blind taste test, no one was able to tell which product was infused with the CBD and which was not. The study included the Apple Rush blueberry product as well as an assortment of beer products. The ultimate product enjoys the seamless infusion of full-spectrum CBD.”
Dr. Goulding went on to remark, “Who says oil and water don’t mix? We proved that they can.”
Dr. Miller, CEO of XYZ Hemp added, “One key facet of the success is the proprietary nanotization process. By breaking down the molecular structure, we have been able to enhance the full-spectrum CBD and make it more efficient and less costly by reducing the amount of CBD by nearly 90% in order to attain the same effect. This enhanced efficacy is how we are able to maintain the taste of the product while facilitating the maximum amount of CBD efficacy.”
The companies have identified retail outlets, including 700 dispensaries in California to purchase the initial product shipment.
Tony Torgerud, CEO of the Apple Rush Company, Inc. stated, “The beverage market is ready for this proprietary, seamlessly integrated full-spectrum CBD. We can now report having broken not just the cost and taste barriers, but issues of solubility and homogeneity.” He continued, “We have now eliminated the final barriers to the CBD beverage industry. Our relationships allow great flexibility in launching new concepts and we will continue to work closely with them.”
With its trade secrets, management of each company feels strongly that these issues, plaguing competitors, have been resolved. The relationship with Apple Rush enables RushNet to profit from the infusion of the CBD, but also provides enhanced opportunities for the marketing of XYZ Hemp’s expanding number of products, through their existing retail resources.
Reporting on further progress, RushNet is excited to soon report the details of its past, and its recently reported acquisitions, each shared in partnership with XYZ Hemp Inc. (GRPS). We have now exchanged contract drafts covering approximately one third of the subject recently reported cannabis grow operations and retail outlet facilities with the combined revenues exceeding $62 million.
