Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Meta Platforms are experiencing some short-term headwinds with tariffs and economic uncertainty.

Amazon is one that many have keyed in on, and it could be wrecked by tariffs.

However, investors need to focus on the facts that Amazon doesn't generate a ton of profits from its commerce segment.

Amazon gets a boost from other inherently high-margin divisions within its company.

The Trade Desk operates in the ad environment but it acts as an intermediary between ad buyers and sellers.

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now and Amazon wasn't one of them.

The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years .

While the road may be a bit bumpy between now and five years from now , I'm confident that The Trade Desk's stock will be much higher.
