> Amazon stock had negative return 10 years between 1999 - 2009.

It did not. You will have to cherry pick very specific days in this time frame (top of the dot com bubble and bottom of the GFC) to get negative returns. But how about 1998-2008 or 2000-2010?

Here is how $10K invested in AMZN performed in 10 years [1]:

1998 - 2008 $102,134

1999 - 2009 $25,124

2000 - 2010 $23,625

2001 - 2011 $111,229
