Amazon Inc. (AMZN) fell about 5% in early trade Monday to break its 50-day SMA in the $655-vicinity.

The firm estimates the co.’s investments may yield less degrees of upside than delivered throughout FY2015. They also note that while they remain optimistic in the longer term, near term they believe there may be better entry points to build or add to AMZN positions.
