Amazon.com Closes Above $3,000 for the First Time

Amazon is well suited for times like this; it's easy to order from and a customer usually -- despite some supply glitches this spring -- gets their goods quickly, with no-contact delivery. Amazon also benefits from the retail apocalypse, which has accelerated because of the coronavirus and the stay-in-place mandates it has engendered (and which are coming back now that the outbreak is resurgent). It is inconvenient or impossible for customers to go brick-and-mortar stores in order to obtain necessary/wanted goods; Amazon is a default alternative for them to turn to.
