3 'Hyper-Innovative' Stocks to Check Out in 2021

Jeff Bezos, the world's second-richest person, is certainly someone worth listening to and following. He once said said that invention is the root of success and no one can certainly argue with that. This can even be applied in the stocks that investors should be checking out.

Safe is good, but the number one rule in the investing world is that the more risks one take, the higher the possible rewards. Of course, the trade-off is that there are also likely to be higher risks. One simply has to be prepared to win big.

"Invention is the root of our success. We've done crazy things together, and then made them normal. We pioneered customer reviews, 1-Click, personalized recommendations, Prime's insanely-fast shipping, Just Walk Out shopping, the Climate Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, marketplace, infrastructure cloud computing, Career Choice, and much more. If you get it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. And that yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive," Bezos can be recalled to have notably said.
