Investment Reflection: Additional Investment in Google (GOOG)
Investment Reflection: Additional Investment in Google (GOOG)
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ I made an additional investment in Amazon (AMZN) as the company accelerates its AI-driven growth strategy. Amazon recently unveiled a suite of AI-powered tools, including the Amazon Business Assistant, designed to enhance purchasing efficiency and provide instant account support for organizations and small businesses. Collaborating with Deloitte, Amazon Business and AWS are rolling out industrial manufacturing and utility asset management tools to optimize supply chains and grid reliability. New features like Savings Insights and Spend Anomaly Monitoring further strengthen its business ecosystem, highlighting Amazon’s potential to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and capture long-term enterprise growth.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I made an additional investment in Tesla stock, driven by its potential strategic synergy with xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company. As xAI expands its AI computing power and develops “truth-seeking” capabilities, Tesla could leverage this technology to enhance its AI-driven vehicles and explore robotics applications. With Musk hinting at a possible stake in xAI, the collaboration could accelerate innovation in physical AI—where AI interacts with the real world, including cars and robots. This integration positions Tesla not just as an automaker, but as a frontier AI-driven technology company, creating long-term growth potential.
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ I made an additional investment in AVGO stock, drawn by Broadcom’s remarkable performance and strong growth prospects. The stock has surged 59.3% year-to-date and an impressive 121% over the past year, reflecting robust market confidence. Recent developments, including Broadcom’s expanding footprint in the AI semiconductor sector and high-profile acquisitions, are reshaping its long-term growth narrative. These factors are generating renewed investor interest and enhancing the company’s risk-reward profile. I view this as an opportunity to capitalize on Broadcom’s accelerating momentum and strategic positioning in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I made an additional investment in Tesla stock, driven by the company’s remarkable advancements in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. Tesla claims that the FSD experience surpasses human drivers, leveraging over a century’s worth of collective driving data. With billions of real-world miles covering diverse conditions—road types, lighting, weather, traffic scenarios, and geographical regions—Tesla is building an unparalleled autonomous driving capability. This positions the company not only as a leader in electric vehicles but also as a frontrunner in autonomous technology, potentially unlocking massive long-term growth and reinforcing investor confidence in its innovation-driven strategy.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ The additional investment in GOOG stock aligns with a long-term growth strategy, capitalizing on Google's proactive steps in the AR/XR domain. These strategic moves, combined with Google's track record of innovation and market leadership, reinforce the potential for substantial returns on this investment.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ I made an additional investment in Nvidia stock based on its dominant position in the AI sector and strong financial fundamentals. Unlike many AI companies still building infrastructure or services, Nvidia has already established itself as a clear winner. With a double-A credit rating and projected net income exceeding $70 billion this year, the company’s revenue model is robust. CEO Jensen Huang’s guidance on potential Blackwell and Rubin chip sales signals strong, sustained demand. Supply constraints aside, Nvidia’s market insight and proven execution provide a rare combination of growth visibility and reliability, justifying increased exposure.
$AI 20250228 26.0 PUT$ I sold a cash-secured put option on AI stock at a $26 strike price, seeing strong potential in C3.ai’s enterprise AI solutions. The company’s recent partnership with McKinsey’s QuantumBlack enhances its ability to drive AI adoption at scale, offering businesses faster and more effective AI transformations. This collaboration strengthens C3.ai’s market position and could accelerate growth. Selling the put allows me to collect premium while potentially acquiring shares at a discount if assigned, aligning with my bullish long-term outlook on AI-driven enterprise solutions.
$Apple(AAPL)$ I added to my Apple position as the company prepares its biggest iPhone launch change in over a decade. From 2026, Apple will split releases into premium fall launches and mass-market spring models, smoothing revenue, easing supply-chain pressure, and reducing internal strain. The lineup expansion, including a foldable and iPhone Air, broadens price coverage and competitive reach against rivals like Samsung. Strategically, this staggers marketing impact while pairing hardware with spring software and smart-home updates, supporting steadier cash flow and longer upgrade cycles across the ecosystem.
$Apple(AAPL)$ I made an additional investment in Apple (AAPL.US) following its strategic overhaul of the iPhone release cycle. Starting in 2026, Apple will shift to a biannual launch schedule, debuting premium models in fall and entry-level devices in spring, including the first foldable iPhone and a refreshed iPhone Air. This approach aims to reduce operational strain, smooth revenue flow, and enhance competitiveness against rivals like Samsung. The new cadence also supports broader hardware and software updates throughout the year, positioning Apple for sustained innovation and steady growth, making it an attractive long-term investment
Tech Stocks Surge as ARM Gains Momentum
Overview: The stock market saw a mixed performance today, with tech stocks leading the charge, driven by significant gains in ARM Holdings $ARM Holdings Ltd(ARM)$ following ambitious announcements regarding its expansion into the Windows PC market. Overall, the market displayed resilience amidst a backdrop of innovation-driven optimism and strategic collaborations. Tech Sector: ARM Holdings Leads the Charge ARM Holdings’ CEO Rene Haas announced in Taipei that the company aims to capture half of the Windows PC market within five years.

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ I made an additional investment in GOOG stock, driven by strong catalysts in AI and market sentiment. Anticipation around Google's upcoming Gemini 3.0 release is heightening expectations for the company’s AI positioning, signaling potential growth upside. Wall Street has shifted its view of Alphabet this year, recognizing it as an AI leader rather than a laggard, boosting investor confidence. Additionally, Alphabet’s valuation remains attractive, with a forward P/E around 25x, and Warren Buffett’s recent third-quarter purchase indicates a perceived value opportunity. These factors together make GOOG a compelling addition to my portfolio.
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ I added to my Microsoft position as the stock continues to show strong momentum, rising 2.7% in the past week and 21.9% year-to-date. The company’s expanding AI initiatives and deepening cloud partnerships reinforce my confidence in its long-term growth story. Ongoing product launches and high-profile collaborations signal execution strength while keeping Microsoft at the center of the AI and enterprise transformation. Although share price swings reflect broader tech-sector risks, I view this volatility as acceptable given Microsoft’s scale, innovation leadership, and recurring revenue model.
Investment Reflection on Adjusting WBA Option Portfolio
Overview Walgreens Boots Alliance $Walgreens Boots Alliance(WBA)$ , a prominent pharmacy-led healthcare company, recently reported its third-quarter earnings with mixed results. While the company affirmed an increase in earnings per share (EPS) to 40 cents, compared to 14 cents in the previous year, this was overshadowed by a significant non-cash impairment related to pharmacy license intangible assets at Boots UK. The adjusted EPS fell by 36.6% in constant currency, and challenging retail conditions, along with tough trends impacting its pharmacies, led to a drop in sales growth expectations. In response to these adverse developments, I made a strategic adjustment to my WBA option portfolio on 3 July 2024. This reflection details the rationa

With AWS sales up 18.8% and advertising revenues climbing 20%, Amazon is well-positioned for sustained growth.
