I chose Grab over Google

I have a confession. I sold my $Alphabet(GOOGL)$shares to buy more$Grab Holdings(GRAB)$shares. It might not make sense, but I've had such a hard time seeing Google grow since I bought it at its high of $2550.

Ever since it's split, it has not gone over $120. Honestly, my perspective is that $120 is its peak and it may be unlikely that it will go over. Perhaps with today's current tech boom, it may be possible, but I think its growth is limited compared to Grab. Grab's stock price has grown from $2.30 to $3.30 and above today.

You guys might be horrified that I've compared a tech giant to a relatively smaller company operating only in SEA. But the truth of the matter is 1) I believe Grab is not at its peak and 2) it has more room to grow. I believe this will show in the long run. I'm not saying Google has no room to grow. I'm just saying its share price is not reflecting any further growth.

Do share your thoughts on this. I'm just more confident, as of today, that Grab is likely to grow more.

    Fundamentally Grab is weak. The business model is just cash burn and to become profitable, either cut driver/rider incentives, raise delivery fees/fares, or increase restaurant commission.

      Agree with you. It's not a very good stock. I may end up making a big mistake.

      Google is used for search everyday, YouTube is “free” to use, although declining ad revenues are a headwind today. Their cloud business is challenging Azure and AWS, has growth potential.

    I still believe that Alphabet is a better bet than Grab.
    1. Alphabet is making good profits already. Grab is still heavily in debts
    2. It has better management teams

    [Victory] i share in the optimism on Grab, but i think Google holds its value better. I’m still unsure when’s a good time to load more or cash out for Grab, am hoping upcoming earning will tell[Smile]

    I find its good for short term trading but still keep some for the long term growth. The % gains are too tempting then the big players (growth stocks). Thats me, always looking for higher yields.

    For growth stocks and conservative ones, i go for SG dividends stocks. So j am building these slowly by aggressive gains in US markets.[Happy]

    Many said Google price fell after split is becos most shareholder sold the "excess" leaving original base amount of shares and let it appreciate again. Take the "bonus" first. Something to learn frm??

    Grab will not make profit in near future. driver and restaurant partner always ask to get more.

    digital bank side will not show any income in near term.

    let's see the upcoming earning results
