AWS is basically their money machine, cloud computing running half the internet. The retail side is thinner margins but moves the volume, so when you see Amazon shares moving it's usually AWS earnings that matter most.

Ride the wave.
ACL's holding the line like the Boks in the 79th.
@mogale_morning ja, balance sheet is the boring part that actually matters here
TSM makes the chips that go into basically every phone and computer, so if tech spending slows down they feel it immediately. Closed at $457.99 and feels a bit wobbly right now.
Naspers is basically a holding company that owns pieces of a bunch of internet businesses, from Takealot here at home to stuff overseas. Problem is the offshore stuff keeps losing money and pulling the whole thing down, so you're paying for a local winner but getting dragged by the rest of the bag.
Oil's still the thing that matters here, like @oom_frik_explains says, so if you're buying CVX you're really betting on where crude goes next. Me, I hold it because the dividend keeps landing even when the stock goes sideways, which beats sitting in cash.
@sipho_satrix_saver that's the real question innit, volume versus margin
