GOOGL shares look attractive. 11.4x EV/Operating Cash Flow and an 8% cash flow yield for a quality company that I would rather own versus overvalued Tech stocks like PLTR, COIN and scores of others. If you ask me, GOOG is going to gain share across its Remote Server business (GCP), and its Productivity products (Docs, … Continue reading Google Looks Attractive
I recently wrote that I love Google's Pixel phones. Google is offering deals on Pixel phones if consumers are willing to buy the Pixel and use Google Fi as the phone service. I've used Google Fi for several years now and enjoy the service. It is far less expensive than AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. I … Continue reading Google Pixel Deals
Neal Mohan is YouTube's Chief Product Officer and will replace Susan Wojcicki who is stepping down. I like that a Product person will lead YouTube. It is mission critical to have "product" at the center of these massive content platforms to ensure optimal user experiences (Look to Meta Platforms for examples of how to ruin … Continue reading New YouTube Chief: Neal Mohan
Run for Alphabet's exit door! Beta Bard flubbed a query! Today's emotional reaction to the Beta version of Google's natural language AI platform - Bard - says more about the reactionary nature of today's unsophisticated, mile wide, inch-deep institutional investor class. My guess is that fewer than 5% have more than a surface-level understanding of … Continue reading Run For The Exit!

I see META struggling to generate year-over-year Revenue growth and expect for 2023 to be a down Revenue year. Zuckerberg is not an Operator. META's … Continue reading META: Where Will Growth Come From?
The NASDAQ Composite has had a nice little run, up more than 9% year-to-date. However, I would exercise caution ahead of Tech earnings and the Fed's January 31st / February 1st FOMC meeting. We have written on numerous occasions that we expect management teams to take a conservative approach to 2023 Revenue and EPS guidance. … Continue reading Technology Stocks Are Not Yet In The Clear
The public will see a demo version of Google's conversational AI platform - LaMDA - this year. My view is that Google LaMDA ("Language Model for Dialogue Applications"), will blow OpenAI's ChatGPT out of the water. Google is the AI King. The company indexes more content and invests more capital in Advanced AI than any … Continue reading Google LaMDA: Step Aside ChatGPT
The WSJ reports that YouTube is negotiating with the NFL for exclusive rights to broadcast NFL Sunday Ticket. YouTube/Google and Amazon Prime (Thursday night NFL games), are essentially pursuing a U.S. audience with their respective NFL strategies. The NFL ought to court YouTube in particular given that YouTube - not TikTok, not Instagram nor Snap … Continue reading YouTube & The NFL
Lina Khan's FTC is bad news. It reminds me of the FTC during the Obama Administration - quick to pick a fight with companies (I know from first-hand experience), without understanding the competitive landscape or how markets work. In this case, Microsoft's Xbox unit is the platform and Activision is the content publisher that will … Continue reading FTC Sues To Block Microsoft’s Activision Acquisition
