Amazon accounted for 41% of online retail sales in the U.S. last year, far more than the next 14 retailers combined.
Amazon recently turned in its first quarterly loss since 2015, and its stock was recently down a whopping 43% from its high in July. Is the company in big trouble? Should investors steer clear? Not at all.

Some of those investors may be selling because they no longer have faith in their investments, and that’s fine. Others, though, are selling in a panic simply because their peers are selling.
