Who care. Just sentiments. Still can go up another 20-30%. But is it the best stock you can buy? TSLA goes up 75% in one month, why bother with a stock that go up 20-30% in 6-12 months?
You should have purchased bulk when WQJ showed his 1000 shares !
Tsla gone up ( past tense ). Do you want to buy now? It is FOMO , but not proper way !
Btw: I still own my own shares of TSLA, lucky no FOMO !
Actually I did, bought 1 TSLA and sold it already.
My point of previous post is there are a dime and dozen tech stocks that would go up 20-30% over a period of 6-12 months, no need to fixate on GOOGL as if it is a rare opportunity.
Despite its recent mooning, is not as good as those 10x stocks we talk about. The right time to buy is last year May-Oct period. Something happen then, launch the build of Gigafactory in China?
Below is a chart comparing performance since Aug 28, 2017, the auspicious day 
Notice TSLA only caught up with AAPL only few days ago?

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, who was recently promoted from Google’s CEO to run the whole conglomerate, has saidhealth care offers the biggest potential for Alphabet to use artificial intelligence to improve outcomes over the next 5 to ten years.
I am ok so long don’t spam me frequent medical advices and drugs.
Feinberg works closely with Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, who has named healthcare as one of biggest industry verticals for the business as it attempts to catch up with cloud front-runners Amazon and Microsoft.
no wonder my VEEV is going nowhere.
Google Health has also absorbed a small group from Nest that was looking into home-health monitoring, which would be particularly beneficial for seniors who are hoping to live independently.
stop going into Apple area.
Google’s not the only tech giant working on new efforts centered around the health industry. Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft have all ramped up efforts in recent years, and have been building out their own teams.
Mega cap companies are full of non-creatives, all doing the same thing. EV, streaming, healthcare, …
Huge market but hard to persuade businesses to give up mainframe because those systems are mission critical, operational and the best part is: Nobody know the business rules anymore

Stock is crazy volatile after hours. but i didn’t read their results as good. They beat revised expectations, but are down quite a bit from the original expectations in January. Looks like Q2 is going to be tough…
Who doesn’t expect a tough 2Q?

March may have been the worst of it. Porat admitted there was a “abrupt” drop-off in ad revenues in March, but suggested things were not getting worse in April.
“Based on our estimates from the end of March through last week for Search, we haven’t seen further deterioration in the percentage of year-on-year revenue declines.”
At another point, she said that “we’re seeing some early signs at this point that users are returning to more commercial behavior,” even while cautioning “it’s not clear how durable or monetizable that will be.”
YouTube direct response ads stayed strong throughout the quarter. YouTube advertising revenues were $4.04 billion, up 33% year on year. Execs said that strong YouTube revenue growth persisted until mid-March, which was when the coronavirus officially became a global pandemic.
However, Porat noted a split in performance between brand advertising versus direct response advertising (which is meant to spur viewers to take a specific action, like visiting a web site or making a purchase). While brand advertising slowed down, direct response ads “continued to have substantial year-on-year growth throughout the entire quarter.”
Sheltering in place is driving massive engagement online. Pichai said that people are heavily relying on Google services as stay-home restrictions change people’s behavior. Coronavirus search activity was massive, peaking at four-times the maximum activity during the Super Bowl, he said. Anrdoid app downloads 30% rise from February to March, and YouTube watch time “significantly increased.” He also said that 100 million students and educators are now using Google Classroom, which was double the number from the beginning of March.
Search is expected to recover quickly. Pichai also noted that search advertising is driven much more directly by return-on-investment than other forms of advertising, as advertisers can see exactly what kind of results they’re getting and adjust quickly. As the 2008 recession showed, when the economy comes back, search spending should recover quickly.
“It’s an extraordinarily effective system,” he said. “It’s a transparent system. You have a very clear sense of ROI. It’s very measurable, highly cost-effective. And so we have always seen in these orders in 2008 as well, people respond in the short-term but the recovery is also fast when it comes back.”

Unfortunately, too much entitlement, yes, I hear everyday from my team and at work.
I see plenty of people making 200-300k and they are the cheapest people ever. God forbid you have to pay for anything.
