Wall streets hates the slightest uncertainty. It is not new Google has encountered lawsuits and market has definitely overracted. Come to think of it, Google is damn good in what they do and they got penalised for being good? With their earning potential, i am definitely staying and holding on. Call me stubborn, that's ok. When the air clears up, they will come back strong.

There are values in any market.At times like this, they’re just hard to find.We’re in the “hard zone” today as the stock market bounces near all-time highs, and FOMO (fear of missing out) has hit everything from AI stocks to meme coins.I’m seeing fewer opportunities today than I have in years, even in companies I like long-term.

Should I Sell My Google Stock After US Antitrust Lawsuits?

🌟🌟🌟Google $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  $Alphabet(GOOG)$  share price has dropped 4.7% on Thursday trading and is now down 3.5% for the past 5 days.  This was due to news that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) urged a federal judge to push Google to sell its Chrome browser and force its Android smartphone software to stop favouring the Google search engine.

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Despite all the antitrust issues, I still believe in Google's strong future. Here's why: 1. Innovation Drives Consumer Choice and Success Google's ability to innovate has transformed the way we live. From Google Search to Gmail, YouTube, and Android, its ecosystem has become indispensable to billions of users worldwide. Consumers consistently choose Google not because they have to, but because it delivers exceptional value, convenience, and reliability. Penalizing a company that has earned trust through innovation risks stifling future technological advancements. 2.

$Alphabet(GOOG)$  It's sad that after the panicky weak hands have given up their shares, they will have to watch the price keep climbing higher and higher.
$Alphabet(GOOGL)$  The recent proposal by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to force Google to divest its Chrome browser could have significant implications for the company and its stock. This measure is part of the DOJ’s broader push to address Google’s dominant position in the search and browser markets, where Chrome plays a crucial role by serving as a gateway to Google Search. This dominance has allowed Google to maintain its control over online advertising and data collection. If the court orders Google to sell Chrome, it could disrupt Google’s ecosystem. Chrome currently integrates seamlessly with Google’s search engine and advertising platforms, which are major revenue drivers. Losing Chrome could not onl
