GOOGL:Fundamental Analysis + Possible Next Target Warren Buffett is an expert at capturing the attention of Wall Street analysts and investors. This could be attributed to the more than 3,800,000% cumulative return he has generated to his company's Class A stock (BRK.A) since taking over as CEO in the 1960s. His stellar investment track record has enabled new and repeat investors to follow him for decades and achieve substantial returns. This is ultimately what makes Berkshire Hathaway's Form 13F filing such a highly anticipated event. Many people who follow Berkshire Hathaway's buying and selling are presumably aware that Apple is the company's largest holding. Apple accounted for 41% of Berkshire's $342 billion in invested assets a week earlier. Apple was also one of three stocks added by Buffett and his investing team during the fourth quarter. Similarly, Amazon has been a Berkshire Hathaway holding for the past four years (since Q1 of 2019). Oracle's prior remarks from Omaha imply that he was not the architect behind the takeover of the world's largest e-commerce company. Rather, one of his investment lieutenants, Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, was responsible for the $1.06 billion holding in Amazon. Buffett was only indirectly familiar with the other three FAANGs - Meta, Netflix, and Alphabet - before Berkshire Hathaway and New England Asset Management released its current 13F reports. The situation has now altered. In the fourth quarter, New England Asset Management purchased 17,100 Alphabet shares, primarily Class A shares (GOOGL). The straightforward answer to the question "Why Alphabet?" is based on three factors: market share, cash flow, and valuation. Let us begin with the reality that Alphabet has a complete monopoly on Internet search. Since December 2018, Google has accounted for at least 91% of global search share, according to GlobalStats. Although ad spending cycles, Google's almost 90 percentage point dominance over its nearest competitor provides it unparalleled pricing power when working with advertisers. Given how the US and worldwide economies have developed over time, Alphabet, fuelled by advertising, is the clear winner. Second, Alphabet is a money generator, allowing it to actively reinvest in a wide range of high-growth activities. The corporation generated $91.5 billion in operating cash flow in 2022. This massive cash flow allows the corporation to expand the scope of its Google Cloud infrastructure service, which has taken almost 10% of the world's cloud infrastructure market, according to a recent Canalys analysis. Furthermore, Google's extraordinary cash flow, along with $99 billion in net cash, cash equivalents, and marketable Alphabet securities, allows the corporation to reinvest in the streaming channel YouTube, which is the world's second most visited social site. Alphabet is currently experimenting with new ways to monetize short videos known as YouTube Shorts. Every day, more than 50 billion "shorts" are viewed! Third, Alphabet has historically been cheap in terms of both future revenue potential and cash flow. Despite a five-year average price-to-earnings ratio of 25.4, the company is now valued at 15.5 times Wall Street's predicted earnings for next year. Furthermore, Alphabet has averaged 18.6 times year-end cash flow over the last five years. Investors may buy Google shares right now for just 6.5 times the company's estimated cash flow in 2026, according to Wall Street's most forward-looking projection. In other words, Alphabet satisfies all of Buffett's investment criteria.

As a Matter of Fact - Metaverse Is Here To StayThis was a 2021 Bubble Darling, where all the low-tech Boomers were battling hand over fist to put Liquidity in. Now that its under 1 billion market cap, the additional downside is very minimal... perhaps $2.00 The upside for a reflexive short squeeze is appealing. This company has strong name recognition and an understandable narrative to sell. $3.10 spot at post look to exit at $5.50 or let it run more Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge.

Good time to start buying GOOGLEYou know all the teck stocks are rebounding hard, and Google was about to rebound as well; but Google's unsatisfactory debut of AI Bard became a good source for panic sell. This kind of stuff is temporary, and the macro trend will override the micro(temporary) trend. Thus, this temporary dump or retrace is actually really a good chance to buy in. If you really like Google and believe that Google will continue to do well in 3~5 years, you should definitely dive in. Good entry price will be around $95~$84. You will enjoy at least +30% profit within 2023. That's not crazy profit, but yeah that's a solid profit. Disclaimer: Even though this is a good chance, I believe crypto will give me better profit; so I am not buying any Google.

VPLM Bullish AF- STOCKTWITS STRONG BUY!!! TODASO!I have anchored the FIB from the breakout earlier his year and then included the wick at the top. I have Vwap anchored to weekly and it's nice how all these level have similar confluence. We have a pennant which is neutral but it's also a bull flag as well. The flag pole gives us the extrapolation for a target above. Fib levels, vwap and 200ema etc for lower targets. Not financial advice, DYOR. From Stocktwits History101 Yesterday 7:09 PM $VPLM for all the new visitors to the VPLM board, welcome. I thought I'd re-post some info to get you up to speed (several posts below). Summary: VPLM has been defending its patents against multiple HUGE tech company infringers for 10+ years. Google, Samsung, Tmobile, Meta, Amazon, etc. VPLM has been winning over & over again, in court and at the patent board. It is the 9th inning now, with court dates set for this summer IN WACO TEXAS, a court (and jury) that supports patent property rights. The big boys are in a big bind, and we investors might have a decent shot at some real $$. Not investment advice, GLTA From investorshub.advfn.com GreenBackClub Re: None Tuesday, January 24, 2023 7:01:49 PM Post# 112387 of 113349 FOR ANYONE CLAIMING THAT VPLM HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL FOR THE COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS I OFFER THIS LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY VPLM THUS FAR: * Up-listed from OTC-PINK to OTCQB * Removed the DTC Chill * Conducted an annual financial audit to be in full SEC compliance and fully reporting. * Conducted an initial damages analysis for RBR parent patent. * Initiated 4 federal infringement lawsuits to enforce VPLM's IP rights against Verizon, Apple, AT&T, Twitter. * Initiated 1 federal infringement lawsuit to enforce VPLM's IP rights against Amazon. * Agreed to having all 5 cases venue transferred to Northern California and consolidated for pre-trial purposes. * Defended and defeated 8 IPR petitions brought before the PTAB by Unified Patents, Apple and Verizon/ATT. * Successfully defeated a motion, in part, for sanctions by Apple at the PTAB. * Successfully defeated an Alice motion brought by Verizon & ATT. * 27 total patents granted and issued as of February 2019 (21 U.S. Patents). * Granted RBR patent in Europe without any opposition challenge within 9 month challenge period. * successful efforts to recoup most of the 100 million shares from Richard Kipping et al * Upgraded the Board of Directors to include new members with extensive experience in M&A. * Brought on board new boutique NYC law firm (Kevin Malek) to go to battle against the big silicon defendants. * Brought on board terrific superstar lawyer in luis Hudnell - ceo malak returned many hundreds of millions of shares back to the treasury to reduce the outstanding share count (to the benefit of shareholders) And more recently……. ***Patents have been validated*** ***Initial damages analysis done*** ***Defeated 12 more IPRS (20 total)** ***IPRs have been appealed and upheld unanimously*** ***No patents have been invalidated*** *** Current with all requisite filings*** ***current with prosecuting patents and keeping both parent and child patents current*** ***Reduction in OS count (thanks Emil!)*** ***Some claims (@20) invalidated for RBR but could be overturned with a decision on Axle at the Supreme Court*** ***NDCA is a very difficult court to win as it is defendant friendly. Waco is fair and plaintiff friendly*** ***Foot in the door in WACO and now some defendants must remain in Waco (Amazon’s writ of mandamus denied!) and face a trial. Other defendants currently stayed in NDCA are tied to Waco results*** ***Albright is a judge that is perceived as fair, by the books and fast which means vplm will be given a fair chance to argue / defend patents on the merits (all we could ask for)*** ***99% of Albright's cases settle before trial. Albright encourages settlement ALL THE TIME. If defendants get to trial they have been given multiple chances to settle so they can’t expect Leniency from judge Albright*** ***Defendants are NOT working together as a formal consolidated group. There is a disconnect - which plays into VPLM’s favor*** ***Most big defendants will settle before providing source code when discovery is requested and required. Vplm is well into discovery phase so it is only a matter of when and not if source code will be demanded*** ***Apple's own expert admitted in court in virnetx case - on the record - that they use relays to route their calls (imessage, facetime, etc.). This admission will come to bite the apple in the butt*** ***Apple tried to file a patent when VPLM was updating their RBR child patent but they failed to do so before VPLM did. We were first to file at USPTO. Now why did they do this? --> because they wanted to get around infringing. Sorry apple, you lose again*** ***60+ companies have received letters that notified them of possible infringement AND offered them the chance to take a license. This was years ago. Willful infringement equals treble damages!*** ***Apple and others can be brought back into litigation as they were dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE***

Alphabet fakeout after fear of AI update target $90 W Formation formed on Alphabet which then had a major fakeout There was a test of the 200MA which Failed to break above and dropped. Target $90 With Google and Alphabet trying to combat with the new challenge of creating a better CHAT GPT, it seems like the first version has failed. There were many errors and false answers. They also called the Ex CEOS and management to try and create similar versions through BING and BARD. This caused fear with investors and lead to a $100 billion drop in market value. Overall I think Google will find a way to replace Chat GPT or integrate the technology eventually. These are short term blips before the upside. Right now we can remain bearish as the charts don't lie, but the price will need to drop below $90 in order to have a new analysis for downside. I'll keep you updated as always.

$GOOGL OverreactionThis situation is quite silly. The media is blowing it out of proportion and believes OpenAi is the second coming of Jesus. Google has 91% market share of Search, and Bing has about 2% share. Microsoft, part owner of OpenAi, plans to grow their search efforts and compete with Google search. The threat is that Bing may take a couple percent. In reality, people won't be switching their browsers where they have their passwords, addresses, bookmarks, email account, extensions, payments, and more saved over an implementation of ChatGPT, which they can just use separately from search. Remember, people hate change, especially when it ruins convenience. ChatGPT is cool, and I've been playing with it since December, it has plenty of it's own problems. No one has invested more in Ai then Google. As far as the trade goes. Any buys at this level are a good entry. $85-$90 even better.

Google - Bearish SentimentPrice broke structure at 100.29 to create equal highs at 107.84. Then price gave us a BEARISH GAP to take out ORDERS at 102.09. The BEARISH GAP that was created must be filled before price can drop significantly. I expect price to fill the BEARISH GAP and take out the EQUAL HIGHS at 107.84. The 113 price point is where price will go. From there a major dip will happen. This will take out the ENGINEERED LIQUIDITY ($). I am EXTREMELY BEARISH on Google!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price action is KING!!

GOOG Alphabet Options Ahead of Earnings | Last Quarter of GrowthAs you can see, the last chart was pretty accurate: Now I think this year we will see Google losing ground in the advertising industry. The Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit Tuesday against Google alleging the company of abusing its dominance over smaller rivals by operating like an illegal monopoly. MSFT Microsoft bought a 49% stake in OpenAI, who owns CHatGPT, that ca really be a rival to Google in answering questions. As a matter of fact i am using ChatGPT more than Google search right now. So i believe this is the last quarter of growth for GOOG / GOOGL, as you can see in the chat, because Q4 was not impacted by ChatGPT so much. Looking at the GOOG Alphabet options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $100 strike price Calls with 2023-2-10 expiration date for about $2.66 premium. If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%. Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

AI: Google challenges Microsoft and launches BardInvestment confirms how the Silicon Valley giants are ready to do battle over what is believed to be the new frontier of technology. Google (NASDAQ:{{6369|GOOGL}}) is challenging Microsoft (NASDAQ:{{252|MSFT}}) and launching Bard, the rival to ChatGPT, the OpenAI application on which the Redmond giant has bet billions of dollars. The introduction of Bard, the name seems to evoke William Shakespeare, the Bard par excellence of Anglo-Saxon culture, confirms how the race for artificial intelligence is accelerating, with Silicon Valley giants poised to do battle over what is believed to be the new frontier of technology. In recent days Mountain View had announced a $300 million investment in the start-up Anthropic, an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. And now it is pushing further ahead with the introduction of Bard, which will initially be available for testing to trusted testers and then later be introduced to the general public, similar to how OpenAI did with ChatGPT. "Secure, quality responses" - The testers have been selected, they are a geographically diverse group that will help Google improve and understand users' use of artificial intelligence. "We will combine external feedback with our internal testing to make sure that Bard's responses are quality, secure, and grounded in the real world," explained Mountain View CEO Sundar Pichai, stressing that the testing phase will help Google "continue to learn and improve Bard's quality and speed." Bard aims to generate detailed answers to simple questions. Its operation is based on LaMDA, the Language Model for Dialogue Applications that made headlines last year for being called "sentient" by one of Google's engineers. ChatGPT's success - Microsoft has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT and believed to be one of the world's top three labs for artificial intelligence. OpenAI has recently become a household name for millions of people thanks to the success of ChatGPT, which, since its introduction in November, has seen a boom in users and opened a heated debate about the potential and application of artificial intelligence, forcing schools and universities, among others, to begin rethinking their teaching models. ChatGPT is indeed able to create text like a human being, using clear, defined prose and appropriate punctuation. For Microsoft therefore a huge chance to gain ground in the face of fierce rivals who, however, do not want to fall behind. As demonstrated by Google's Bard and Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to make meta one of the leaders in artificial intelligence.

Google Short IdeaThis is a hypothetical short position on Google. The basis for this is that Google, despite being pioneers in AI and search have fundamentally been blind sighted by chatGPT and could legitimately go to zero (although it's more likely is a rebound ~68). Here we have 3 positions. The first is OTM PUTS just below S1 which should be short dated or put calendar spreads used for extra leverage. The second is short the shares @market price, with a 2 year leap call @ 100 and CSP leap @ 75. The goal here is to be hedged in such a way as to give someone flexibility to exit the short by being covered via the short put and the 100 call, as well as the ability to double down via short dated puts. It should also ideally give someone the ability to transition into a synthetic long, if done right.

AAPL: LAST MAN STANDING / FIB / PREDICTION / MASSIVE CHANNELDESCRIPTION: In the chart above I have provided a detailed MACRO analysis of AAPL laid out in its MASSIVE MONTHLY CHANNEL of 180 - 123.75 that has been held since DECEMBER 2020. Out of 8 massive US market movers AAPL was the only one to hold a positive position at market close on Feb 3. IMPORTANT LIST OF US MARKET MOVERS: AAPLE, COSTCO, NVIDIA, FACEBOOK, ALIBABA, AMAZON, GOOGLE, AMD POINTS: 1. Deviation of 6.25 DICTATES SUPPLY & DEMAND POCKET PLACEMENT. 2. Dotted orange vertical lines represent a months time. 3. EMA'S: 45 (BLUE), 100 (YELLOW), 200 (RED). 4. Green dotted vertical lines represent top for AAPL top. 5. Optimal Target: 161.25 6. Notice EMA movement where current placement would signify price action has plenty to give to the upside. RSI: Common Range for RSI to linger between 50 - 70 despite somewhat overbought territory. MACD: Notice current uptrend of buying to selling pressure and not the similar trajectory and angle. MACD has yet to ride trend before drop occurs which is highlighted by sphere. SCENARIO #1: In a BULLISH scenario price action lingers around 155 SUPPORT and we see sideways action OR we see a sudden drop in the coming days but bounce 148.75 SUPPORT without losing upward momentum and confirming a continuation of upward momentum and confirming current setup. SCENARIO #2: In a BEARISH scenario price action 148.75 & continues with strong downward momentum to 145 and beyond that break uptrend and invalidate setup.
