"If you treat money punitively, it leaves," I said. And, when it does, I noted, "It takes hundreds of billions of dollars in highly skilled jobs, intellectual capital, and property values with it." As part of that column, I cited two of Seattle's biggest and most profitable companies... companies, I might add, that critics (and probably City Councilors) thought would find it "impossible" to leave. Well, guess who just threw down the gauntlet? Amazon.com Inc. ([NasdaqGS:AMZN]() announced Thursday that it intends to open a second company headquarters that it's calling "HQ2" somewhere else. Bear in mind that this a company whose operations have conservatively resulted an estimated $38 billion pumped into the city's economy between 2010 and 2016. The giant sucking sound you're hearing is the collective realization from those very same city council members who thought "taxing the rich" was a great idea a few months ago.

CEO Jeff Bezos made his announcement very pointedly and succinctly, "Amazon HQ2 will bring billions of dollars in up-front and ongoing investments, and tens of thousands of high-paying jobs." Not one dime of which will be spent in Seattle. Then, just like any of the estimated 244 million buyers at Amazon.com, Bezos went shopping. In a stroke of brilliance, he openly "listed" Amazon's requirements for their new home city and gave interested cities six weeks to respond. The key highlights are as follows: - The new location doesn't have to be an urban nor a downtown campus. - Bids from interested cities will be prioritized with metro areas exceeding more than 1 million people at the top of the list. - HQ2 will be located in a region providing a "stable and business friendly environment..." - And, with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent. --------------------------------------------------------------- This rookie trader was just paid $25,344 in 11 days]( Meet Sean Getty from Louisville, Kentucky.

Amazon Is Not Pulling Punches... "Incentives offered by the state/province and local communities to offset initial capital outlay and ongoing operational costs will be significant factors in the decision-making process," the request for proposal reads. The tax credits and location premiums NFL teams get every time they move are going to pale in comparison to what gets put on the table by politicians who actually want Amazon's money, in contrast to Seattle's feckless leaders who took it for granted until yesterday. [TRENDING] One Gallon of This New "Crystal Fuel" Powers Your Car for 42,325 Miles. [Full Story]( Amazon's announcement is the most scathing indictment of failed government spending and bad fiscal policies in recorded history. It's also a thinly veiled harbinger of things to come. The way I see it, Amazon's put Seattle (and every tax-happy politician around the world) on notice that it does not appreciate being treated like a second-class citizen. Critics counter that stuff like higher minimum wages and taxes have no effect on how businesses operate. What they fail to understand is that hostile regulations and policies are the financial equivalent of death by a thousand cuts in that they add up over time and are ultimately business killers. Former Intel Corp. ([NasdaqGS:INTC]() CEO Paul Otellini issued a bleak outlook related to the prospect of similar punitive regulations in California a few years back saying, "it's pathetic. I worry that we have to hit the abyss before we can fix things and I worry that the abyss will be more like Greece." [EXCLUSIVE] U.S. Taxpayers Can Cash In Thanks to This Historic Settlement... learn more [here](. Like Amazon, Intel also voted with its feet at the time, choosing to build a new $3 billion chip manufacturing plant in Arizona because of lower tax rates across the border. Facebook Inc. ([NasdaqGS:FB]() CEO Mark Zuckerberg quipped in 2001 that if he had to do it all over again, he would have "stayed in Boston." Never forget one of the most fundamental rules of capitalism, and one of the most important when it comes to building Total Wealth. Money flows to where it is treated best. Period. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Big Tobacco Must Pay]( Big Tobacco is doling out hundreds of billions to 46 state municipalities to pay off their misdeeds. Now the states may offer to net you. [Click here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't matter whether you are talking about money moving overseas or across the country, the principles are exactly the same. No amount of doubling down by naïve politicians on punitive policies will change that. Carrots work better than sticks every time, which is why you want to reward success instead of treating it begrudgingly like a stray dog at a family picnic. Businesses cannot maintain their profit margins - much less compete - when they are forced to pay higher costs and compete against other companies that do not bear those same impediments. Companies will do what they need to do to retain more of their earnings and continue to grow. You may not like that personally, but it's great for your money. What This Means for Your Investments... Bezos' announcement heralds the single most important corporate move in the last 50 years. The initial investment will be at least $5 billion and 50,000 high paying jobs. Over time, I think the tally may hit $50 billion when you factor in new infrastructure, workforce training, tax incentives, and simple productivity. All of which will allow Amazon to grow faster and more profitably than ever before. Admittedly, at around $980 a share, Amazon is not cheap. Buying a single 100-share round lot will set you back nearly $100K, which is roughly equivalent to what it takes to pick up even a modest house these days. Still, buy whatever you can afford even if that's a single share at a time. Or, consider the LEAP options I wrote to you about recently as an alternative. If neither of those work for you, consider buying a 26(f) fund like the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth (TRCBX) which considers Amazon a primary holding. It's just one of ten [26(f) programs]( you can "enroll" in today... They give investors the opportunity to earn aggressive monthly income combined with huge lump-sum payouts. You can potentially: - Get paid $2,000... $5,000... even more... every month for the rest of your life. - Then still grab six figures in one shot. [Either way, get on board.]( I believe Amazon's HQ2 is akin to a second "public offering" which means you've got a chance to tap into a move being made that sets the company up for another decade or more of outrageous profits for investors. How outrageous? Every $10,000 invested when the Amazon IPO-ed in 1997 would be worth just over $5.6 million today. The next run could be even bigger as the company matures. Any takers on when Starbucks Corp. ([NasdaqGS:SBUX]() does something similar if Seattle's leaders don't "get the message"?
