$Microsoft(MSFT)$ On high alert as we creep out of this "soft pocalypse." The setup still looks primed, even with big money keeping it idling for now. One decent volume jolt could send it running again.
$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ If SPY closes green, this could really take off with that good news. A lot of people got stopped at the 200-day MA, and now it may be time for a reversal.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Another weak day with MSFT and APPL bouncing off their lows while Google still can't get any footing. Volume is low, yet weak hands are selling shares that have a tremendous opportunity for incredible gains going forward. The demand for their services is clearly there, but some folks can't see they're locking in their future earnings. This stock will be blowing past 400 soon. I'm holding my shares.
$Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Only companies struggling to compete give away huge amounts of equity to win a single account like GOOG. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 's quarter was so much better than MRVL's quarter. $Broadcom(AVGO)$ will likely look like NVDA's quarter, maybe even better.
$Rezolve AI(RZLV)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Rezolv AI is moving higher after Google selected its distributed database platform. RZLV said Google picked its proprietary distributed database technology after a lengthy technical evaluation. The tech is being deployed at the infrastructure level inside Google Cloud, supporting the indexing and data pipelines behind Google Cloud Web3's blockchain datasets and helping keep the information accurate, complete, current and ready to query. Daniel M. Wagner, Chairman and CEO of Rezolve AI, said Google's selection is significant independent validation of technology the company has developed over man
$ChronoScale Corp(CHRN)$ $APPLIED DIGITAL CORP(APLD)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Nutanix Inc.(NTNX)$ Raj Jegannathan getting his own fireside chat rather than just being one of several people on a panel stands out. The ChronoScale CTO is set for "Operating and Scaling Inference-First AI Factories." For a company still relatively small compared with names like OpenAI, AWS, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Google, and CoreWeave, that kind of stage time is a good sign ChronoScale is starting to get more attention in the AI infrastructure space.
Buying LEAPS at support levels can offer a really solid reward-to-risk setup. That approach worked on $Microsoft(MSFT)$ with over 200%, and it is playing out well on $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ right now.
Return on invested capital is one of the most important metrics for identifying a high-quality company. For example, if you bought $Alphabet(GOOG)$ at 8X price to book ratio and sold at 4X price to book ratio, your total return over 20 years would still be 560%. But if you bought $IBM(IBM)$ at 7X price to book ratio and sold at 9X price to book ratio, your total return would only be 166%. Why the massive difference? Google had a high return on invested capital. IBM did not. "We've really made the money out of high-quality businesses. Over the long term, it's hard for a stock to earn a much better return than the business which underlies it earns." - Charlie Munger
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ The sell-off happened on very low volume. No major dark pool trading blocks were recorded. It looks like retail panic selling from weak hands. I expect a reversal fairly soon. We might see further selling, but it feels like the worst has passed and this is mostly profit taking. I am holding through this for the bigger move that is still ahead.
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ Even after the run-up, this still looks very undervalued to me. If you have to pick something among the Mag 7, it feels like the only sane buy right now. I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft's culture honestly, but it's hard to argue with the numbers they're putting up.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Google shareholders have been selling off and moving that money into momentum names that are actually working. One of the stocks that's caught some of that flow is Netlist, which used to be a delisted penny stock. I'm long both Google and Netlist, but staying diversified makes sense here.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Feels like Google is up to something big and bold with AI, possibly making Gemini free to undercut everyone and crush token prices. Risky approach, but it fits the Android playbook. That might explain why they keep raising, and I imagine they would have to dump their Anthropic shares at IPO. Their open-source models will have hooks into YouTube and other properties. Big moves are happening among the big players right now.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Not sure how much longer GOOGL can just sit at 17.74x PE. It feels like Wall Street is getting ready to load up. Cheaper would obviously be nice, but I'm highly doubtful we'll see that. Berkshire is likely to keep buying.
