It is hard to imagine a methodical, long-term investment having performed as well as this one.But has AMZN shares created the most alpha within the mega-cap tech universe? Could investors have done much better by betting on names like Apple&nbsp;(AAPL) or Microsoft&nbsp;(MSFT) instead?What is alpha?First, it helps to look closer at the concept of alpha. Generally, alpha is thought to be the returns that an investor can earn in excess of a benchmark. In other words: how much has a stock or portfolio risen relative to the S&amp;P 500 or the Nasdaq? Investopediasummarizesas follows:<blockquote>Alpha (α) is a term used in investing to describe an investment strategy's ability to beat the market, or its ‘edge’. Alpha is also referred to as ‘excess return’ or ‘abnormal rate of return’.</blockquote>To me, this is a good start. But alpha should also consider one crucial factor: risk.Beating the S&amp;P 500 might simply mean higher sensitivity to market forces (i.e. beta). So, the better question is: how much return can a stock producerelative to risk. I believe that this is a more complete view of alpha.Amazon stock vs. the restConsidering absolute returns only, Amazon stock ranks remarkably high within Big Tech for historical share price performance. The chart below shows that, over the past 10 years, AMZN has only lagged Tesla (TSLA) in annualized gains.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8474b2c893b04f99bbc62cbf3aaa9bec\" tg-width=\"683\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Now, let me introduce risk to the equation. Risk is often defined (maybe too simplistically) as volatility. The more a stock rises and falls from minute to minute, or day to day, or week to week, the riskier it is.So, one way to assess a stock’s returns relative to risk, thus giving us a better idea of its alpha potential, is to divide annualized returns by annualized volatility. By this methodology, Amazon stock loses its silver medal to Microsoft.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/760869278d2e71f120fe4f1fc108de5a\" tg-width=\"680\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">One takeaway here is that, over the past decade, Amazon has achieved higher returns than any other FAAMG stock, but not without exposing investors to more volatility. If history repeats, investors should expect high returns to come alongside relatively sharper ups and downs as well.Another way to think about risk, one that I have favored recently, is to think about sizable losses. A good question to ask would be: how much has a stock produced in average annual returns relative to its worst trailing 12-month (TTM) performance?Using this methodology, not only does Amazon stock lose its silver medal, but it also drops out of the podium altogether. See chart below, and notice that Facebook has also performed better than Amazon in the past ten years in loss-adjusted terms.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/affd59dcb14135f4a2cc892ad143ec26\" tg-width=\"683\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Figure 4: Ratio: Annualized return vs. Worst TTM return.DM Martins ResearchAmazon, in fact, has one of the worst track records within Big Tech when it comes to sharp losses. By November 2008, AMZN had seen 57% of its value evaporate over the previous year. Only Alphabet, around the same time, performed any worse than this.The key takeaways for investorsHaving said the above, I think that Amazon investors can learn a few lessons from this historical price action analysis:<ul><li>Amazon has been a high-performing name, both since the IPO and over the past decade.
