I agree. And I do have concerns about the price gouging ramifications, but something tells me those don’t get settled until things clear up globally. All speculation and conjecture of course, but feels safer then holding other things at the moment.. I’m still long tech (GOOG APLD NBIS MU etc), so if things go back to full bull, the tech gains will offset my fert losses lol. My port has become a weird bullish hedge where industrials, defense, and energy sit on one side of the scale, while AI / tech stocks hang Out on the other.
If he was in MU and SNDK he’d be up more than that. AVGO just a bit more than double from April 2025. TSM tripled, GOOG doubled barely at one point. NVDA doubled from 88. So many things if you bought the dip in April and held like a fiend.
Already sold META in the 700s. Zero faith in their flailing leadership, completely different from GOOG when it was in the low 100s. Like META has flop after flop after flop. Yes, they have a large number of developing country users but that is it. Their relevance to wealthy younger people is practically nil. I can understand why they are desperate for their own LLM platform but LLMs will beat commodity and META is way behind. There is only room for Coke and Pepsi, no third provider.
This heat map isn't even accurate, TSLA is only down 5.09% for the month, MSFT 2.31% for the month, GOOG 1.94% for the month.
Wait til you look at the yearly on GOOG.
Just wanted to post results of this "prediction": TSLA: 391.20 NVDA: 180.25 GOOG: 301.46
I feel like GOOG is going to do the thing it did when it refused to move out of the 160-180 range for months on end until everyone and their mother was slandering the stock
Bought yesterday when it was -1%. Then it ended -2%. Sold a lot of what I was holding today to keep averaging down until I was full port. But it just wouldn't stop dropping. At least MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN today has a brief window of recovery but AAPL was just a straight plummet. Sold most of them because who knows what will happen over the weekend but still holding a few. Going to get drunk and thank my former self for at least withdrawing all my initial amount I deposited and now I'm only playing with winnings. So no harm no foul. But it still fucking stinks.
if you follow the stocks this sub loves long term, some are making $$$ on NVDA and GOOG and the rest already went through pain on CRM, MSFT, PLTR, and RDDT. Not sure the market in general is down that much
"feelin myself rn, tbh, got the latest GOOG, what you rockin?"
Doubled down on my GOOG leap.. what could go wrong?
GOOG so obviously heading for 300.

We need the top 5 stocks in SPY to move in order for there to be a crash. NVDA, AAPL, and GOOG have basically been the same price for four months. Not sure if they will ever move based on what's going on in the world
Not everyone is in SPY which is basically the NVDA/GOOG fund
I know you are being sarcastic, but all it takes for NVDA or GOOG to go down, we are negative. Even if loads of other stocks go up
You're in a correction if you don't have AAPL, GOOG and NVDA. Why does everyone miss that? IT's weird/wrong that the indexes are mostly a few companies. Also other big tech crashed already. Banks are in a correction, most consumer stocks crashed. This week made me realize the SPY needs to be rebalanced so it's not the NVDA fund
Every blue chip stock on my list is down 8-20%. This is all a reminder that the indexes desperately need a rebalance so they are not all NVDA, APPL and GOOG.

>How did you figure this out, as in what did you study in particularly that helped the most? I think my aha moment was self taught. In my attempt to try and remove emotion from trading, I tried to automate some 0DTE trades. After a lot of paper trading & backtesting I realized (again, super obvious now) that in addition to options underlyings, I needed to diversify my *strategies* as well. I think the concept of buying low and selling high is so intuitive (I'd even say ingrained) in most traders, we just want to stick to the "simple" strategies (e.g buying calls or puts). I needed to switch and be adaptable to take whatever the market gives me. Sure, this might mean slower gains, but that's ok with me so long as I can get them more consistently. What I'm doing specifically (#1 is the most important, I'd say the middle 3 are tied for 2nd, and the last one is 3rd): 1. Better risk management: max 5% on LEAPS or shares (like 25% of total portfolio, and each of these positions is hedged with cheapish insurance at all times). Swing trades are capped at 1% max loss per position (not hedged...but more aggressive profit taking when it makes sense to do so), maybe 10% total portfolio at once. I have about 60% of my options trading account in cash right now. 2. Keeping it (mostly) simple: for shorter timeframes (0DTE - 30 DTE) I primarily trade SPX (~1wk), SPY (0DTE) or bigger names (GOOG, AAPL, etc) with good liquidity & tight bid-ask spreads. Unless there's something really compelling (like USO calls these days), that's usually what I'll stick to. 3. Taking what the market gives me: I don't try to force bullish or bearish trades if the market/sector isn't giving it, sometimes no trade or neutral is the move (very fond of SPX iron Condors and butterflies these days). Sometimes trading volatility is the move. It depends. 4. Market Awareness: I needed to start paying attention to things like Fed speeches, economic calendars, market moving headlines etc. Knowing what's happening is just as important as knowing why things are happening. It can really make or break your trading and resolve. 5. Actual strategy: I hesitate to call it a strategy since I trade so many things, but the tools mostly landed on using are gamma exposure, price action and volume. Throw in a couple moving averages, and RSIs and that's about all I use. Trading Litt (covers gamma exposure on YouTube), Options Millionaire (also YouTube) and Anna Coullings Volume Price Analysis are good guides. Sorry that was probably way more than you asked for, but this is what I've been using since q3 2025 with solid results so far!
Deadly for who? Why doesn't that shift the tide back to MSFT, GOOG, AMZN who drew down last month because of exorbitant capex commitments? They back out, they pump, and the picks and shovels hardware/energy crowd eat it

Right now is a Kangaroo market. Crab market is low vol. VIX is above 20. Easy way to tell is: >WSBtards losing money >AND posting "What's IV crush?", "LOSS: I sold 1000 0DTE SPY calls and getting exercised!", "RH margin called. -$150K TSLA short loss", "Why is my SVXY going down?", and "I am officially broke. -$700k loss. When short Jan'25 and then bought YOLO'D into puts May'25". It's a Kangaroo. >WSBtards losing money >AND posting "Why is my GME/BTC/BBBY/WE/SPCE falling?", "$50K loss on 0DTE SPY calls YOLO", "VIX short -$69,420 loss! Why did it go up?", and "GOOG is such a piece of shit. Here's my $400 FD I bought at $300 after it ran up 100%. MARKET IS RIGGED!" It's a Crab.
GOOG if you want a risky but not insane high beta new gamble
*Someone* buys 250k GOOG shares fucking rugs 😂
A lot of comments wondering why SPY isn't crashing. For it to crash, we need GOOG, NVDA, and AAPL to crash. if they crash, it won't be just because, it will be because a narrative shift, because these stocks are viewed as safe havens from the economy/inflation to a certain degree. So when they crash, there will be FUD in the media and you won't want to own them. The next largest components of the indexes are already in correction/crash for the most part. I think your/my own sake, we need to look for individual stock opportunities in this market. You have to go against the media narratives though. Ex. buy consumer stocks in Oct-Nov when the media was fear mongering about more tariffs hitting one day (even though said companies had already given figures on how much tariffs would cost). Or utilities last summer when we feared a pause in rate hikes. Now I am seeing the fear mongering on credit card overdone and some consumer staples like MMM and HD down hard to points they usually bounce form. PE is crashing but it may crash more because sentiment is untied to reality. Either way, instead of waiting for 2008 to repeat, maybe buy some MMM or HD or PG or wait for banks to finish dropping and buy JPM. AMT is another good stock that never gets discussed here and it's down a little
0% chance that’s an ascending wedge on GOOG……

Jfc. At this rate GOOG is going to 290 tomorrow.
Everywhere!! HD, LEN, GOOG, AMZN, ELF, CLF, BA, RH, NKE, META. Are you waiting for 80% off???? Oh, once they go up 30% then you'll fomo buy like everyone else
GOOG 280 in 2 weeks lmao.
!banbet GOOG 250 99D
Ironically GOOG has a nice gap at 211 to fill which would line up with the average yearly trend of every 4th year dipping to the previous years low.
GOOG wont stay above 300 for long ...
Specifically to OP's point, I think everyone looks and says "well this happened in 2000 so it's going to happen again. But that's not how things usually work. It's like 1929, that crash was largely driven by people speculating on stocks using margin. We may have other craashes, but we will never have another crash caused by the same problem. People say "oh the market exploded in the late 90's with stock speculation." The difference is a lot of those companies had no earnings, their valuation was based on expected earnings. The top tech companies today, they all have earnings. In fact their earnings continue to increase while the stock prices decrease which at some point will lead to a great buying opportunity. I will also add, the booming companies in the late 90's were all startups. Today, the top companies on the major indicies are all mature companies. NVDA, GOOG, MSFT, AAPL, these companies all have revenue streams that are unrelated to AI. Doesn't mean the stock prices can't be volatile, but it means we're unlikely to see 90%+ drops in their values.
Exactly this. If one bought the index at the peak prior to the dot.com bust, they would be in profit today. If they had bought Cisco, Microsoft and GE only, Cisco and GE would have only just broken even last year. Pets.com would be absolute loss. If one only does the index, they never learn to invest and will never have under or over performance. I personally hold both an ETF portfolio and a stock portfolio. Even my ETFs aren't market index funds, buying sector and factor funds. If the recent SaaS sell off is a result of actual SaaS impact by AI for example, there are stocks that are more likely to survive and thrive better (e.g. MSFT, GOOG, AMZN) than potentially others (e.g. Adobe, Salesforce, Duolingo). Buying individual stocks let you express that optionality, buying a broad market index does nor, or even VGT in this instance, does not express it cleanly.
Oh I’ve been investing in stocks for several years now. I don’t make a lot of trades though. Most of my positions are in large cap tech companies (MSFT NVDA ANET GOOG AMAT). So i definitely won’t YOLO into anything. I’m too scared of my wife to do anything dumb lol. But yes I’ve read other Reddit posts where ppl got absolute winners on here. Crazy.
I only buy an individual stock if I think it will be life changing. Like a GOOG or AMZN, etc. Right now I only have one, the rest is in a Global All equity fund, as they say "VT and chill"
The most difficult thing is having patience like for example not selling Netflix or Oracle when they took a dive early late 2025 early 2026. Also, trimming winners occasionally as in your case of 9 stocks over $1m. I try to not have a stock grow to more than 5% of overall portfolio. Presently I have 2 that exceed 5%. The winners are always hard to trim. Example might be to sell some GOOG and buy some AMZN or META. It takes some work but you gotta like it and be ok with making some bad calls along the way.
Recently, every 4th year GOOG shits the bed to the previous years low. Puts are loaded to the tits 160 days out and calls are being sold heavily. Good fucking luck permabolz. Calls on the dip.
SPY to 200 QQQ to 150 Oil to $400 Gold to $10,000 TSLA to 0 MSFT to 50 GOOG to $20 AMZN to 40 AAPL to $500
GOOG Every 4 years the stock pulls back hard. Like clockwork. Google is heading back to $130 EOY.
Do you say the same fucking thing everyday and ignore anyone who replies or the state of world geopolitics. It's gotten to the point where I recognize you as the Meta guy. And the guy I told not to sell GOOG at 180 when you were bitching about it last year
>focus on ETFs that are not heavily invested in the AI and technological sector Tech generates by far the most profits in today's world. Profits are what drives invidual stock prices up in value, and thus the indices holding them. Leaving them off the table means less return. Your SP500 and NAS100 top weights are NVDA AAPL GOOGL GOOG MSFT AMZN META AVGO and all of them are consistently setting new top and bottom line numbers over time. NVDA and AAPL each broke $40b in profit last quarter. Also past few years, growth has been dominated by semiconductor (SMH) and other AI adjacencies such as energy and datacenter infrastructure. You might find an ETF that has done well in past 1Y or even 5Y period. But it likely won't hold up to ETF's holding the above in the long run. Something like VDPG doesn't even beat SP500 on 5Y lookback. With SP500, it rotates winners in and losers out. That's why it histroically goes up over time. So by holding it, you don't need to be concerned with which sectors or companies are prospering and which ones are not.
Ah back to their roots threaten everything and then act as a victim. This may actually motivate me to buy more GOOG shares.
I subscribed to MF years ago, just their first service, I think it was called Stock Advisor? Anyway I owe them for having more money then I ever thought I would. They got me into Netflix at $34, Marvel which got bought by Disney, I still have Cintas, up 3700% in 16 years, MA, TXN, GOOG. Just lots of big winners. I also had losers too but the winners far outshone those. I didn't just blindly follow their picks I also did my own due diligence. So back then at least they were solid. During covid I subscribed again for $49 because I was bored. I didn't have much free cash but bought small $1000 lots of some of their recs. Didn't nearly do so well on those. One, SFVB went bankrupt, ADSK is down 20%, ZM is down 79%, and only CRWD is up, 92%.
GOOG now inverses the market along with TSLA
Movies soon replaced by AI and uploaded on YouTube. GOOG calls, NFLX puts
Lets go GOOG, follow along don't hold us up.
I swear to god if GOOG doesn't go green Im gonna make my own search engine! With blackjack! And Hookers
Fear is overblown, money isn't going to dry up. Fed will keep injecting liquidity, Bank of Japan is dovish, USDJPY hasn't broken down this entire time. Fear caused flight into DXY, obviously the USD is still the worlds reserve currency. (sad times for brics). US Consumers keep spending, can't help themselves and US president will manipulate the market. If you want a better answer just look through these daily threads from a year ago, 2 years ago, etc. People saying that GOOG is worth no money, people saying QQQ will never hit 300 again (over double now), almost every single comment that's been doom and gloom would have lost you vast sums of money.
Bullish for GOOG and shrewd timing. Glad to see Alphabet leadership isn’t letting supposed “ethical boundaries “ supersede their obligation to maximize shareholder returns. This is why I own GOOG.
Hold up, GOOG is actually green?
Anyone remember in the early 2000s when we had IPOs like crazy and GOOG hit like 350 before their split? My friend sold her Amazon shares she held for only four or so years and bought a house for basically free Pepperidge farms remembers
Unironically freaked the fuck out and panic sold my GOOG at the bottom yesterday
Averaging in AVGO, MSFT, GOOG, META, TSM - all 20-30% off ATH. The war doesn’t change AI/tech long term thesis, although watching out if there is a prolonged impact which may delay some of the capex commitments in a recessionary economy. Hard to stomach so much volatility though, so position sizing is as small as it can be - spread weekly vs monthly earlier
For PATH? Im generally a longerterm investor. This to me is just a positive asymmetric risk bet. The pros out weight the cons for now I dont have a long term view of them. I think for them to survive they need to sell or merge. The hyperscalers will own the inference layer very soon. Basically the infrastructure layer over software will be owned by the MSFT, GOOG, AWS, OAI, ANTHROPIC very soon. They are just able to outcompete them. I think they need to be bought by someone. dell, orcl, hpe, etc.
Wow even GOOG pumped, this rally steaming hard now 🤣
Appreciate it. This is letting most investors get in on lower prices since last Oct, can't believe no one sees the opportunity. GOOG was a steal early in the trading session.
Just started using Gemini instead of ChatGPT for work—Gemini is 10000x better. GOOG CALLS
Alright Sundar Pichai, you got your pay package - now take GOOG to Valhalla! 320 by this week! Lfg!
Why did I convince myself to buy GOOG leaps in Jan ffs.
Wish I held my GOOG calls but how do you expect to go from -3% premarket to green by afternoon
I already sold my calls GOOG dump so I can buy again.
Think I'm gonna buy some GOOG leaps
I remember telling my buddy that GOOG was on sale at $300 in December, wait till he hears what I’m about to tell homm
Might sell my GOOG for a 60% profit. Got work to do.
GOOG to 305 by end of day would be a blessing.
GOOG to 310 by end of day 😂
Let the GOOG Fomo BEGIN!!!
I bought more GOOG, and I think I’m too late for oil stocks already
This morning I sold my calls in AMD, MU, and GOOG. The idiot bears got to me yesterday night.
Currently up 2k with GOOG calls. Not at all what I was expecting today
Exxon Mobil XOM, McDonald’s MCD, Johnson & Johnson JNJ, Google GOOG, Coca Cola KO, Amazon AMZN This is the meta.
This sub is quick to bash GOOG when it is red. Have you once said thank you today for the green?
GOOG green.. can't make that shit up.
GOOG Is green today?! What in gods name…
NVDA and GOOG preventing the market from total collapse
I'm selling financial/ banking stocks and looking at anything that makes money off ads like GOOG and RDDT
Guess we’ll see how it plays out. I’m going on the working theory that this conflict will be around for a while, straight of Hormus will be shut down for weeks if not months and life is about to get a lot more expensive. People will flock to low cost entertainment and cut back spending, inflation is going up, yeah maybe social media will be a refuge for some but if that was the case then wouldn’t GOOG and ORCL be up as companies that own those platforms ?
If you're investing in stocks with the hope or expection that its price would always be higher than what you bought it for each and every day for the rest of the life, then you've already lost before you started. I had AAPL stock in the mid 2000's and it went down over 50% during the 2008-09 financial crisis. I don't have to tell you the rest of the story because you already know it. Do you think even a prolonged war will materially impact AMZN or GOOG/GOOGL in the long term? Stocks will move in the short term because simply put there exists a professional market that looks to squeeze any margin out of any situation. If you aren't part of this market, you shouldn't concern yourself with its short term impacts.
RDDT will be down 7% tomorrow, GOOG -4%. I'm cooked lol. At least my $340 GOOG March 20 CCs have no shot of hiting lmfao.
why don't you just stick to the leaders like AMD, AVGO and GOOG. Goog could be considered a "semiconductor" company - given its TPU push and heavy investment in ARM.
Open a chart on 1 month+ horizon. You will see that CURRENTLY GOOG is going down. So, if not some external trigger appears the price range is relevant. However it is a probability that is calculated based on data exists. If tomorrow something will happen that will change market sentiment probability analysis should be recalculated. That’s why long term “bets” are kind of gambling. Historically there is a 64.1% chance there could be a downside crash during this period or 64.1% probability of upside spike. It os not a guaranteed but you see that chances of sentiment to be changed are pretty high.
You think GOOG will drop to a PE in the teens?
AMZN and META were popular calls to start 2026. Both have been disappointing, especially AMZN. I’m sticking with them and adding to my positions for 2026 while we are anti growth phase of the year so far. Swapping some GOOG for AMZN and AAPL for META is a thought too vs new cash.
I’m Panicking, bought right before the dip! Down 15% I am 21 and only started investing in November with a total of \~10k. I have 70% in relatively stable ETFs (VTI, VT, VXUS, SPXT, VIG, Nasdaq?), but that remaining 30%… wow. I’ve been invested in GOOG and Taiwan and they’ve done well for me. But a couple weeks ago I decided to buy some riskier ETFs because they had like 3-5 year major growth and didn’t seem too volatile (like a random startup). These ETFs include South Korea, Spain, Brazil, Copper, Silver, and Gold. My portfolio was doing amazing. ALL of which are crashing hard. I literally bought days before the big dip when there was a tiny dip, figuring that when I check back in 20 years it’ll have some normal bumps but ultimately go up. But then Trump bombed Iran and everything fell apart. I have 50% of my net worth invested. I don’t know if these markets will come back well enough to make the purchase worth it. I know I should hold. I learned my lesson when I first invested and listened to my Crypto ex-boyfriend (who is very rich and told me not to worry, high risk high reward. And like an idiot I believed him), losing $800. But it’s still making me so anxious, people are saying this war could last for years, and I can’t help these emotions even though my logic is telling me to hold. Ugh. It just sucks.
1. r/wallstreetbets member 2. retarded 1 and 2 are the same, but basically that. But my logic specifically is that MSFT crashing from 555 to 430 already felt like a deal akin to GOOG last year (I """missed""" out on the GOOG dip because my portfolio was already overweight GOOG since the 00s). I call cap on BOTH the *"AI is going to eat everything so we must sell all the software stocks"* narrative ***AND*** the *"AI is just flash with no substance. Just a bubble where the Mag8 get cooked because the over-invested into a meme"*. It's either AI drives real productivity or it doesn't. I'd rather bet on the Mag8 than the entire software space.
Depends on your thesis. $340 is pretty far OTM so you're basically buying a lottery ticket on a big move in \~2 months. That $5.95 is almost all extrinsic so theta is gonna eat you alive if GOOG just chops sideways. If you're playing earnings that could work but you're paying for a lot of hope. At least check what the implied move is for the next earnings date and see if $340 is even in range.
