Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has reason to worry about China-based competitor Temu.
Amazon in November quietly launched Haul, for items under $20, largely from China. It's Amazon's answer to the soaring popularity of Temu and TikTok Shop.
Amazon (AMZN 0.73%) is one of the best-performing stocks of all time, up more than 200,000% since its IPO in 1997. A $1,000 investment back then would have turned into more than $2 million today.

An exclusive deal with Amazon to develop Warhammer 40,000 films and series could significantly expand the brand's audience long-term.
After a 24% rise last year and a 27% increase in 2024 (as of Dec. 16), the S&P 500 is currently in record territory. While this has worked out extremely well for investors who have already put money to work, it could potentially be discouraging for those who have been on the sidelines.
