The analyst bases his arguments on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), which he believes only started performing when Wall Street had lost hope on them.

“I think if you take a look at what they are building and think about the opportunity they have ahead of them, not only with e-commerce but with EWS. I think this is a great opportunity to own the stock,” said Mr. Munster.

Munster admits that Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has been an underperformer this year but believes investors have lost the bigger picture on the company’s long-term prospects.
