$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ I'm interested in buying, but the valuation is too high right now. The P/E was just 19 a year ago, and now it's at 26. That doesn't really make sense. If it goes below $300, it might be worth starting to buy and average down. The company is too big, and growth is very slow. It's one of the best companies in the world, just not worth the current price given the growth.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ If Google can get into the Dow Jones like MU did, will it have a similar impact? I think the pent-up buy orders from mutual funds could create a wave.
$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ It could be, since Google is leading in AI talent (according to Demis), some of the weaker links are leaving. Maybe they want more recognition because Demis is so recognized. Maybe they want to be the head of their own group instead of just a VP.
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ The S&P 100 (largest stocks) A/D Line remains in a Bull Flag pattern unless it makes a lower low within the pattern. I continue to anticipate higher prices for the largest stocks going forward.
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ There's still this idea floating around that Meta is “burning cash” on AI capex and losing its free cash flow advantage. What stands out to me is how sticky that narrative is, even when the actual numbers keep proving otherwise. Free cash flow over the last four quarters: Q2’25: $9.0B Q3’25: $11.2B Q4’25: $14.8B Q1’26: $13.2B LTM: $48.3B Even with heavy AI infrastructure spend, this is still a serious cash-generating machine. Feels like the market is anchoring too much on CapEx headlines and not enough on what the business is actually producing underneath.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Time for hedge funds and late retail investors to raise cash and get flushed out. I've owned Alphabet since 2016 and really don't care if the stock drops to $300 or lower. I believe it will reach new highs reasonably soon.
