Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN): Closing price $358.74

On Monday, Amazon announced a one-day 15-percent price reduction on its Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD tablets, in order to “thank” the Federal Aviation Administration for its ruling that permits passengers to use portable electronic devices during take-off and landing. Besides that, the company also lowered the price of its entry-level Kindle reader by 1-percent for one day. The discounts, timed near the kick-off the holiday shopping season, forms part of Amazon’s strategy of introducing limited time discounts to help boost sales of Kindle e-reader devices and to empty its inventories of tablets and e-readers.
