GOOGLE (GOOG) Trade UpdatesRecap on my position on Google, Apple and Facebook, the 3 bit techs I have in my portfolio. Google spectacular entry and obviously also lucky. ($85.94) There is still a long way to go, for a share that from the highs of February 22, at the time of my entry had lost about 45%. I remain in position with a generous 20% profit, there is a lot of volume structure to recover, and it is not yet the time to bring home part of the profits. As always, I give some indications purely for personal purposes: Short-term target: $115 Medium-term target: $125 Long-term target (mine): Historical highs So I find myself holding the stock indefinitely, I’ll take home something for $125 to cover operating costs but I don’t want to do anything else. If the price retraces I have other entry levels that I mentioned in previous posts. I also leave my update on Apple (up 23%) and Meta (+18%). All in all, a good month. Keep moving forward! Happy trading Lazy Bull

Should Investors Consider Buying Alphabet Stock ?Alphabet's stock has risen by 25 percent from its 52-week low, but the emergence of artificial intelligence ChatGPT poses a real challenge to the company's search engine. However, investors may not fully comprehend the nature of the company or overlook the reasons to invest in Alphabet's stock. Therefore, they should take a macroeconomic perspective when evaluating the company. Despite concerns about its position in search, Alphabet has evolved beyond its advertising-funded search engine, which helped it grow to its present size. With a growing interest in other parts of the technology industry, the company has been working for years to shift away from its ad-dependent model. It is worth noting that 79 percent of Alphabet's revenue still came from advertising last year. Nonetheless, Google Cloud has become a significant source of revenue for the company. It accounts for 9% of Alphabet's revenue in 2022, up from just over 7% the previous year. Additionally, Alphabet owns numerous companies, including Verily Life Sciences, DeepMind, and Waymo, among others. While Alphabet allows most of these companies to operate under different brands and rarely breaks down the financials separately, investors should not be surprised if some of these companies become more prominent within Alphabet if advertising growth continues to slow. If Alphabet's multiple companies fail to save it from an advertising slump, its balance sheet can. The company's success in advertising has made it incredibly wealthy, with nearly $114 billion in liquidity. Although that amount is down from $140 billion in 2021, the cash reserves give Alphabet considerable leeway. Alphabet generates around $60 billion in free cash flow in 2022 alone, and therefore, even if some concerns about Google's competitiveness in search prove valid, Alphabet is still likely to generate revenue from various other sources. Despite Alphabet's favorable macroeconomic outlook, the stock price has steadily declined amid a bear market in technology and a downturn in the digital advertising industry. The stock price plummeted to $83 a share, about 45% from its peak to its low, due to concerns about ChatGPT. Although the stock has recovered somewhat since then, it is still selling at a 30 percent discount from its high in early 2022. Moreover, the price momentum has driven its P/E ratio down to 23, making it a cheaper stock than all of its mega-tech peers. Given Alphabet's macroeconomic situation, investors may have an opportunity to purchase its stock. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain when ad spending will recover, and ChatGPT poses a real competitive threat to the search engine. However, even if Alphabet loses its edge in these businesses, the company has plenty of other investments and a cash reserve of $114 billion, which ensures a long-term recovery regardless of how the search and digital advertising business develops.

The End of an Era: Is Google's Reign Over?I believe that right now is an incredible time to short googles stock, The challenges facing it over the next few years could topple its position as an industry leader. Current price: 105.35 Target 1: 90.55 (-14%) Target 2: 74.50 (-29%) The regulatory scrutiny that Google is facing is a significant threat to the company's future. If the company is found guilty of antitrust violations, it could face substantial fines and restrictions on its business practices, which could lead to a loss of market share and revenue. Moreover, the negative publicity generated by these investigations could harm Google's brand image and reputation. In addition to regulatory scrutiny, Google is also facing increased competition from Microsoft's backed venture OpenAI. OpenAI is a major player in the artificial intelligence (AI) space, and is rapidly expanding its capabilities in natural language processing, computer vision, and other areas. As Google relies heavily on AI for many of its products and services, such as search and Google Assistant, increased competition in this area could pose a significant threat to the company's market position. These challenges have already had an impact on Google's stock price, which has fallen from its all-time high of $150.70 in November 2021 to its current level of $105.30. This decline is likely due in part to concerns about regulatory scrutiny and competition from OpenAI. Looking ahead, it is difficult to predict with certainty what the future holds for Google. However, it is clear that the company will need to address the regulatory concerns and navigate the increasingly competitive landscape if it hopes to maintain its market position and continue to grow. If it can successfully address these challenges and continue to innovate and adapt, Google could emerge from this period of uncertainty even stronger than before. However, if it fails to do so, its stock price could continue to decline, and its market position could be threatened.

Google - A Manipulation Dump and an Antitrust Exit PumpIf you have a taste for anything like freedom of speech, neither Google nor YouTube are companies you will like. This thing started as a search engine that actually had the motto "Don't Be Evil" before it was corrupted by the Chinese Communist Party when "very smart people" wanted to get it into China. You see, doing business with "China" right now always means licking the boots of the "Chinese Communist Party." This means you have to toe the Party Line, and that means topics like the June 4 Tiananmen Square Massacre and the persecution against Falun Gong, and Hong Kong democracy have to be suppressed in accordance with whatever the regime says during the previous, current, and future 2 hour periods of each and every day. It was then that Google developed a taste for its own form of shadowbanning and thought itself smart to roll out the CCP's ethos into its worldwide business model. When you search for content you get curated whatever gibberished and extreme leftist-establishment stuff it thinks it can give you to either attempt to nudge your opinion and values (DONALD TRUMP BAD!), or to just cover up the truth (try finding an update on the pandemic situation in China that isn't 2 weeks old). As scary as all of that is, more terrifying is the way that Google is able to control the editorial direction of every single website on the planet, especially news media, by strictly controlling the web ads market, which it has controlled 90% of for many years. Don't want to follow the Party's edicts on stuff like the Marxist revolutionary group Black Lives Matter destroying cities? Don't want to promote masking, social distancing, and mandatory vaccination during a "pandemic"? Then they take your site's ad revenue away, for real. Hint: there aren't many ways to make money with a website whose product is free words ("news") besides advertisements. On Jan. 24 the US Department of Justice finally launched an antitrust suit against Google , seeking to financially penalize and force Google to divest its share of the markets. What's scary about this for investors is that Google inked $209 billion in revenue from web ads in 2021. According to Q3 Financials, ~$167 billion of its $207 billion in revenue for the 9 months ending in September 2022 came from web advertisements. This part of its business is pretty much what Google actually is. The search engine is really just there to dominate the Internet for the purposes of keeping the ad revenue train clutched in their own claws. And curiously, when the DOJ made the suit's announcement, Google's share price only fell $6, and over the course of two days, before rebounding in the big tech short squeeze. This is kind of a big deal because Google losing its web ad business means Google goes out of business, and US Government antitrust lawsuits aren't this kind of thing that they drop one day or that the courts or a jury will side against the administration on. Google's Q4/FY22 earnings is Feb. 2 postmarket. This timing is especially significant considering that the FOMC rate hike is Feb. 1. The question when facing a strange price action situation underwritten by big fundamental changes with multiple culminating timing catalysts is always: Is the stock going to go up or is it going to go down? The thing about Google's monthly bars is there's a very small gap at $81.05, which was conveniently evaded in the October dump and kept off during the Nov-December market retrace. The clearest view of overall price action is on the weekly candles: My thesis is that Google will have a terrible earnings call, regardless of whatever data it puts out, because of the pending lawsuit. I suspect markets will bear trap with FOMC, regardless of the fundamentals. All of these come together to make me believe that February prints $79-$81. Makes for a nice 25% short. But when this arrives, I believe Google and the Nasdaq in general will actually turn around and really trend hard upwards, regardless of the fundamentals. This makes for a nice 29.5% long if Google really only retraces into the $95 gap, and a 50%+ long if she goes into the $81 range. I believe the reason a tech pump will happen is because the sector attracts the biggest suckers (retail, Robinhood, Reddit, Cathy Woods, Jim Cramer) and Wall Street will be using them to empty their bags. Citadel and JPM and friends always buy low and sell high. They don't buy high and sell low. That's what you do. If banks and funds did that, they'd be broke like you are, and we'd have Bear Sterns every month. Once big tech starts to trend upwards, you have to be careful. The market will more or less do what Tesla did the last two weeks and just go uppy as weekly puts expire worthless. And there will be no real sign of anything fundamental that should stop the train. Everyone will flip bullish for one reason or another (mah 200 DMA, meh trendlines, moh 76.321847234% Fibonacci) and it'll seem like it's time to get back to the good old days of 2021. But it's not 2021. It's 2023, and everything is broken. Summer is going to be harsh, and Autumn will scare you. And then the Chinese Communist Party will be destroyed by Wuhan Pneumonia seemingly overnight, and all the plans will be interrupted. My advice to traders is to just risk a lot less and try to keep your risk within your winnings as much as possible. Also, if you really do see a black swan with China that crashes markets, don't buy that dip. Not even a scalp. It won't be like COVID hysteria was with 1,000 point up and down swings on the Dow this time. Everything will just gap down and stay down. Liquidity will be a precious commodity. One thing I've learned is that people never believe in what they think can't happen until it's unfolding in front of their face. Then they come back and are like "Wow it really did happen!" Even I am subject to that flaw, because the length of time things take to unfold makes actually believing you are right very, very difficult. That being said, I believe that we're looking at overall feverish bull market hysteria heading into May. But what happens starting in May and heading into July is very likely going to change everyone's lives forever and ever.
