$Alphabet(GOOG)$   Google has booked in a set of good earnings results.  Yesterday the FOMC reiterate that inyerst will have to stay higher for longer.  The 3 major indexes retreated after the Fed announcement.   Our strategy is to accumulate Google on weakness but in small amounts by making use of the technical analysis to find support level for entry.   

While news of layoffs can be unsettling, it's important to analyze the bigger picture. Recent reports of Google restructuring staff across teams like Flutter, Dart, and Python have sparked concerns, but these changes might not be entirely bearish for the tech giant's future. Here's a breakdown of the situation and why I remain bullish on Google's long-term prospects. Google's official statement clarifies that these aren't company-wide layoffs, but rather "reorgs" aimed at streamlining operations. Their focus is on efficiency, reducing bureaucracy, and aligning resources with top product priorities. This strategic move can actually benefit Google in several ways. By concentrating resources on key areas, Google can potentially accelerate innovation and development in its most crucial produc

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$   Alphabet, $GOOGL, officially closed above $2 trillion in market cap for the first time ever on Friday. The stock added nearly $200 BILLION of market cap in one day after beating earnings expectations. Alphabet stock is now up 23% year to date, or FIVE TIMES the increase in the Nasdaq 100 index. The main driver of the surge in $GOOGL? A $0.20 dividend declaration and a $70 billion share buyback announcement. As tech giants begin issuing dividends and share buybacks, it almost feels like they are maturing. Tech stocks that were small a decade ago are now blue chips.

Expecting positive growth on Google even though they've been late in the game in their strategy 

Woww i think buy. I need profitt

It would be more prudent to buy on a pull back  together with technical analysis to find better entry points.  Patient is needed, for those who are impatient and can't wait buy in small quantities first and add on if the price correct. 

Nah... I don't think it is time to go in at a high 

On a year-over-year basis, the spots of growth in Google's report were impressive: YouTube Ads: $6.69B -> $8.09B (+21%) Cloud Revenue: $7.45B -> $9.57B (+28.5%) Cloud Operating Income: $191M -> $900M (+371%) Operating Margin: 25% -> 32% These are very nice numbers and show how hard the core team is working behind all the bad media coverage of their AI efforts

So I will wait for a Safe area to try to Fish 🐟 Google again or Exit my position for some Kofi Cum Snacks.... [Thinking]  Hard Decision....

With dividend and 70 billions share buy back. It a no brainer.  Google going hit higher.

Yes would be my call but I recently sold all my $Alphabet(GOOG)$ stock, not because I don't think it's great but because I hold it in $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ it was a decision based on my circumstances, I had just over 50 individual stocks in my portfolio and it was getting to hard to keep an eye on them all. So decided I'd go to a few etfs so I could knock my portfolio back to a manageable number of stocks 

Yes, it will go higher #GOOG has upside until 180$
