BUY ON WEAKNESS

Looking at technicals right now, the market has tried to break through and has failed a couple of times. It could be choppy through the election. We could be ready for a 5-7% pull-back over the next couple of weeks. Your entry point will be late October or early November. He would slightly prefer GOOG-Q.

TOP PICK

Adding to it at the $1500 level. Ad allocation will continue to grow, as will market share. Cloud business, only 6% of revenue, but last quarter grew 40% Y/Y. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $1763.46)

COMMENT

It's up 17% for the year, but usually its reports disappoint investors. He hopes Washington breaks up Google into standalone companies, because those pieces will be worth more than the whole.

BUY

Washington is calling for anti-trust laws to break up the mega-cap tech names. If Washington wants to break it up based on anti-trust concerns, then the sum of the parts would be worth more. Wall Street would pay more Google search, Google health, Google cloud, YouTube and the self-driving car division.

BUY

Where to put RESP money. He would be tempted to include GOOG-Q. Even if they get broken up, the smaller companies would do well.

BUY

Likes it very much. Advertising revenue has been affected by Covid, but should bounce back quite smartly. Reasonable multiple. Next year, could earn $62 per share. Growing 20-25% a year. Lots of arrows in the quiver that aren't monetized yet, such as self-driving cars and AI.

BUY

Loves it. Trims when it gets too big in the portfolio. Long way to run. Under attack from politicians. Regulations will be somewhat punitive, but Google can deal with this. Exceptionally strong balance sheet. Investing vast sums in healthcare. Visionary CEO. Attractive long-term investment.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Facing anti-trust scrutiny from Washington, so it's tricky to figure where to enter during the current tech sell-off. It's up only 5% YTD but it's a good company. It's trading at 31.8x this year's earnings. Has a lot of cash and boasts terrific growth. If it keeps falling, buy it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He targets $1,770. The stock has always been in his top 5. Buy it around $1,300 or even now but only partially. 80% of revenues come from ads, their cash cow. Uncertain over the length of the current tech meltdown.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 05/19, Up 21%) It's not an expensive stock and has a moat around itself. About half of all advertizing today is digital. Google owns 30% of all digital advertizing in the US. They continue to execute very well. They continue to grow. They are 70% of all search.

TOP PICK

Alphabet/Google PE 36.28

TOP PICK

Got hit on the advertising side. But they always have a card in their pocket, like YouTube. Huge R&D budget that will create revenue producers in the future. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $1730.48)

TOP PICK

Uncharacteristically missed revenue last quarter. Cloud business continues to grow. Still benefits from digital advertising. One of the cheaper stocks in this area at 19x. Will continue to do well. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $1720.48)

TOP PICK

Bought more last month after Google announced results. Google has lagged the FANGs actually in the past year. Their revenues were flat YOY, which is the first time they haven't increased; the reason was COVID. But online search and advertising has a lot of room to grow, so Google will recover. Also, Google is now giving more disclosure about its YouTube and cloud businesses. The valuation has risen in the past year, but still reasonable. They have a lot of cash to fund growth. (Analysts’ price target is $1720.48)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 41%) A very diversified company with many different products and divisions that customers love. Regulation is a risk, but consumers will continue to use these products.
