Top 5 Long Term Companies To Watch For 2014

In the future, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) could find itself in a bit of a pickle. The company has been increasing costs faster than it can grow revenues, which, over the long term, is an unsustainable trend. A lot of the blame has been placed on Amazon Prime, despite being attributed with driving increased spending with members.

Last quarter, fulfillment costs rose more than 38% year over year, and technology and content costs rose 46%; yet total sales only grew by 22%. In other words, the short-term costs associated with running Amazon Prime appear to be far greater than the short-term benefit. Investors continue to justify this unsustainable trend because the company has made it clear that growth is currently a higher priority than profitability.

Quite frankly, investors are correct for making the assumption that profitability will come at a later time.
