Yea, some people don't really understand the facts. The Mag7 have cash up their ass. In fact, there were so much cash that 5 of them started spending it wildly. MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, META, and NVDA are throwing cash everywhere to see where it sticks.
#BEARHUNTER is awfully quiet since 10 percent drop on GOOG LMAO 🤌
Down 20% on NBIS. Thinking about realising the loss and rotating into GOOG lmao. If the bubble pops NBIS will get annihilated but GOOG ain’t going anywhere
Look at capitulation away from the MAs for NQ on the D1 and even the W1, Mean Reversion back to the MAs is on the cards Plus SNDK is due for possible bullish moves, GOOG, INTC, AMZN shittery should be priced in now By all accounts the whole trade should be back on track from Monday and AMD was running up with momentum pre-earnings but this sector wide sell off, just pushed it down into liquidity, it should be good to go if it's a good result ....but war and midterms could be thorns in between the rose patch
GOOG could have bought RDDT twice with their quarterly capex and still have billions left over

Yea I think that’s the argument for companies like GOOG, META, and MSFT (or maybe even TSLA), they can bundle in existing products. I do not have a very strong opinion but I can see the argument, I do not know how much is already priced in.
I am pretty much on the same page as you but I think it will go up like ten cents a day. Institutions will not be able to resist GOOG calls and it will keep things moving upward very slowly every week. Institutions want to print until December 1 when Christmas bonus time is around the corner. (Positions: Dragonite First Edition Fossil Base Set, Vintage.)
Got it. GOOG calls go brrrr 🔥🔥
And this is why it’s being beaten down now - not monetising yet AI mode/overview. But have to give GOOG credit, the speed at which they build these AI overviews and the quality is phenomenal. Just shows how capable they are. And they had to do it fast - it’s existential. Now they have to monetise it. You would be crazy to bet against GOOG IMO.
What evidence do you have that big players are in the process of scaling in? Hedge funds are heavy short. The price action in stocks like SNDK, INTC, GOOG post earnings show pure distribution, no sign of accumulation by institutional investors. That may change soon, but as of now, we are in the midst of a market correction that likely has longer to play out.
Thanks for the reply. Funnily enough, these were the exact same stocks I was considering (except AVGO). Difference is GOOG and AMZN are my two biggest stocks. GOOG up around 20% and AMZN down around 5%. Meta I have $10k in it but already made very good profit buying pre release Muse and selling post release. Chips I’m very nervous about as historically highly cyclical. Meta I’m still not sure I trust their capital allocation strategy - massive AI capex but not a cloud player. Means they need to monetise huge capex via improving its ad machine and selling AI subs- competing with Open AI and the others. My next buy trigger is alot lower. GOOG I’m a hold. I just can’t justify adding more to my position or it become too much single stock risk. AMZN ditto but I’m not quite as bullish on AMZN than GOOG although think it’s also an amazing capital allocator. If I could only own one stock GOOG or AMZN would be on the short list that’s for sure. So RDDT is where I still don’t have a full position and where the upside is much higher - and the risk of course.
If GOOG wasn’t my biggest individual stocks I’d buy more but I’m a hold.
Absolutely true. I remember everyone was talking about the end times of GOOG when I bought some shares for fun in March 2025. Just buy and forget, a solid multi trillion dollar company with a 35-40% discount. No brainer
This post convinced to buy GOOG, not RDDT. 🤷♂️
If this is your analysis, then I’m buying GOOG calls on Monday at 9:30 am est
"In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine." Benjamin Graham Market is voting against RDDT (and GOOG) and I totally get why. But in the long term RDDT (and GOOG) are likely to have the earnings that the market rewards.
I don’t know - the $trillion of AI capex planned for 2027 is not going to deliver a ROIC for years. That’s why it’s being punished - time horizon is too long and too uncertain. But these companies are moving at incredible speed. Kind of amazing what mega tech and the AI houses are doing - the Chinese as well in their own way. And that’s the crux of if: GOOG is getting beaten down for acting too fast and RDDT for too slow. Maybe a happy median in the middle and one where they do a deal together!!
My total max additional would be $25k more. $15k done. I loaded the truck on GOOG in June 2025 then was up nearly 100% now down to 20% or so. Of course I regret not selling at the top. But I’m not selling now even though 20% on one’s biggest position in 17 months is not too bad for a giant company. I sold my whole position in MSFT instead to help fund more shares in RDDT. I was up 25% on MSFT this year and I while I think it’s by far the lowest risk of mega tech having a really smart approach to AI, it’s seems fairly valued to me and not sure it will beat the S&P. GOOG seems significantly undervalued due to well known fears around low ad density of AI Mode/Overviews. GOOG has an exemplary track record of capital allocation (unlike Meta for example) and brilliant M&As. I’m will to hold GOOG as I still fully believe in them even if they face some challenges.
Retail investors are very different to big money. We can take a longer term horizon and hold or add during crises. I absolutely think RDDT should have sold out as the reduced Users due to GOOG situation is not good at all in the short term.
How can holding the stock for a few months be wrong? I’m not a day trader. 5 year investment horizon. Stocks go up and they go down. RDDT is down due to GOOG. The moat and fundamentals are still intact and financials pristine - hard to find another mid cap with financials like RDDT.
Hating on Google's business right now is wild to me. Q3 vs last year: every segment grew revenue, and every major one beat inflation. Search was up 12%, YouTube ads up 9%, subscriptions up 11%. The only soft spot was Network, up 1%, and that's about 6% of revenue. Total operating income rose 30%, faster than revenue, so they got more efficient too. And Cloud doubled revenue year over year and tripled its operating income, with margins going from 24% to 36%. For comparison, AWS grew 39%. Cloud is the infrastructure every business is going to run on, and Google's is growing faster than anyone's. Yes, free cash flow was negative this quarter, at -$9B. That's because capex more than doubled to build AI capacity for a Cloud business that just tripled its profit. Over the trailing twelve months, FCF is still +$19.7B. The EPS miss was mostly a SpaceX markdown, not the core business. The balance sheet can carry it. As of September 30, the current ratio is 2.8, with $375B in current assets against $135B due within a year. They hold $265B in cash and marketable securities against $125B of long-term debt. Compare that to Amazon, which is at roughly 1.0 and borrowing to fund its buildout. Management stopped buybacks and sold about $12.4B of stock in Q3 at an average of around $344. GOOG at $280 is 100% a buy, and I'm putting every spare dollar I can into it. It was $280 a year ago and now it's back to $280 with 25% more revenue.
I agree the demand looks real, and I'm holding NVDA, MSFT and GOOG through the swings. I'd just be careful timing it off sentiment, since fear can stay high longer than you'd expect. For me the better signal is whether the big buyers keep growing cloud revenue fast enough to justify the spend.
Buy, buy, buy the dip …. sell your house, car and wife, and put it all on GOOG . You’ll thank me 💵💵💵
Sell the farm and put it into GOOG ….. it’ll never be this cheap again 💵💵💵
Any chance GOOG goes back to $300 by EOW to save my bacon?
+1 me too. As I said in another comment: It's mind boggling that GOOG's P/E is currently half of the SP500 average (and the reason I bought heavily on Friday)

Buy & forget is probably fine for GOOG - would not be surprised in 5 years it is split into multiple companies. Democrats will probably force their hand into doing so.
I dunno man, GOOG is wayyy to ghey right now. POOTS is the way

Instructions unclear buying GOOG rn
$GOOG will go up, nothing to worry. That was a dip buy opportunity, even warren will buy week.
Being bearish in this market and being bearish on tech are the same thing at this point. We didn't drop friday because CACC dropped, but because INTC GOOG and the other tech companies did.
Just buy buy buy...especially INTC, GOOG, AMZN, XMMO, SPMO. This is a SALE that your future self will wish you bought that low point on the chart.
I am old enough that GOOG didn't exist yet as a stock, and have seen some shit. Unc status honestly. I have never done 0dte and only swing stocks on sale. Just Q to Q. RDDT sub 100 is absolutely on my list currently.
GOOG has like a P/E of 14 and completely control the world. I think they gon be OK.
Rate my port: 310 shares of QQQ, 150 shares of SOXX, 300 shares of GOOG
Wish RDDT bulls would stfu I want the price to stay down. NYT is gonna win it's lawsuit against OpenAI. RDDT is going to win it's lawsuits against Anthropic. AI companies will be made to pay for every damn thing they scrape. RDDT is a steal right now, so is NYT (I'm guessing the lawsuit is why Buffett bought NYT stock) GOOG is a mixed bag, they can default to Search if AI becomes cost ineffective from licensing requirements
I have 300 shares of GOOG am I cooked
lmao yes $GOOG $AMZN and $META going bankrupt. listen to yourself.
The plan is to wait for the IV to drop for a few days and then buy puts on trash like GOOG and NVDA again
Don’t know what else to say other than to buy gold. It’s on sale. I also think GOOG and PBR are on sale. Both great stocks.
Invest in $GOOG, they have positively impacted the human race
I'm ready to buy GOOG, but is the market? I feel like they are going to keep getting punished for their CAPEX, and they plan on ramping it up even further in 2027. The deceleration in search/ad revenue solidified the spanking. 103% YoY Cloud revenue growth is fking bonkers, but apparently not good enough for this market lol. Long term we chilling, but I'm hesitant to immediately jump in.
GOOG is far from just a search engine
Not as bad as GOOG has been crapping the bed.
This is an excellent buying opportunity for esp INTC, GOOG
Yea, Google would be great if it was mostly cloud like Amazon. But it's not. They have a monopoly in search, which is going to die off the more prevalent AI becomes. And that's partly why GOOG is getting crushed despite their cloud success
I wish it was down only 44% ytd lol. It's down 62% ytd, 70% from ATH. There are obvious bad macro conditions right now in tech (GOOG, INTC and NOW are 3 "different" companies in size and sector, yet they all died). RDDT gonna bounce back up. Fundamentals dont lie, the price is too good to be true. Yes management sucks, I don't care. The business and catalysts (AI deals) are too good. You are looking at FUCKING 17B for RDDT!!! If the price doesnt move, someone will make an offer to buy the company almost guaranteed. We reached capitulation on Friday. Lots of people selling at huge losses "just to be done". Plus the tax harvesting. It may see $80? Yes. Will it be higher in 6months from now? Absolutely yes.
GOOG ad revenue growth slowed from 17% to 12% YoY due to AI overview pulling users away from links. This also hit RDDT's DAU hard. Investors see GOOG as a money printing machine due to search engine ad revenue, Q3 earnings demonstrated that is being eaten by AI search engine replacement. Next they looked at the $200B+ in CapEx this year killing GOOGs cash flow (-$9B in Q3 alone). Their net cash position plummeted $71.5B YoY (50%). All of a sudden GOOG is no longer looking like a cash rich company printing money on ad revenue. They are burning money for an AI product thats killing their ad revenue. And they're a solid step behind OAI & ANT on the AI front. The downturn has everything to do with AI and is not not algorithm selling. Its informed investors that are taking gains to hedge against oncoming risks.
why tf would you drop 1mln in puts over a company that has 20pe grows 40% a year and is down 50% from ATH? The odds are not in your favour. Yes your argument is correct, he would have needed to buy different exp and strikes (which is what he did for the calls too). Also, poots holders won, but that doesnt make them right. Just lucky imo. The correct play was obviously to be long. But because of what happened to GOOG, one could clearly see market macro conditions were NOT GOOD. So buy cheap hedges just in case. Basically the tail risk was underpriced
Would Apple dump like GOOG? What do yall think?
Same bags here. They are printing cash but getting disrupted by AI where it hurts (real eyeballs) the way GOOG is. I still RDDT is an acquisition target somewhere along the line. And regarding GOOG, fuk it, I bought the DIP
The entire bubble is predicated on virtually unlimited growth from Anthropic and OpenAI, both of which are seeing significant slow downs in the rate of increase in their revenues. The famous backlogs of MSFT, ORCL, GOOG, AMZN, NBIS, CRWV, etc. are either large percentages or the entire picture of both of these companies. Semi demand is gone when the AI labs go under. The other three have uses for the technology but not at a rate that justifies the spend.
I get the short term selloff on it, but most social media companies do limit access to non users already. And the GOOG deal to scrape data was over last Q anyways, wasn't it? EPS slight beat, and a huge selloff over not much in my opinion. DCA'd to $115 but will prob be holding RDDT bags for a while to see an upside I guess
Might be wrong but the decision of RDDT to have the user have an account to see content is to become the bastion of human experience; if you want to train your LLM better buy the whole company. Given the change in paradigm of agents and chatbots taking over the web search, it was only time for traditional marketing methods to stop working (hence GOOG taking a dump).
I would typically sell further out in time before earnings so there is still time value left after the earnings crash and you can roll them out. My initial earnings trade was a bull call spread and a bull put spread combo for a credit, I rolled my Nov 27 280 puts out (and down) to 250 puts in December for a credit. In case GOOG crashes further I plan on rolling out into 2027, always for credit.
Do people even read the fucking 10-Q? THAT PE ISTS FUCKING INFLATED, wait I'm in WSB never mind YOLO THE FUCK OUT TO GOOG 🗣️🔥
GOOG Jan 2028 META not so much - Mar 2027. They tend to be more range bound and volatile and I didn't want to pay the massive premium out to 2028. But I'll probably continue to play here for a while.
"Oh bro, i'm loading up to the max bro, if GOOG hits $300, you don't even know bro" *GOOG hits 300* "Oh bro, once we get to 240, I'm backing up the truck bro. I'm full porting it all bro" These clowns are so dumb
Bought a lot more, GOOG is diversified enough to keep growing.
Bought long term calls for GOOG 300 and META 640 at close on Friday. Easy money IMO. These capex investments, albeit significant, are required at this point. Can't afford NOT to. They continue to print money. They will be just fine long term.
all i heard was GOOG leaps
And if GOOG doesn’t work out they have INTC too, one will pay surely?
Bought NBIS and GOOG on Friday. Midterm is on Tuesday. If history repeats, we gonna see Green from Monday hopefully.

OpenAI and Anthropic will both collapse, but they will take most of Mag7 with them. TSLA will get black swan'ed a cluple years. The debt is too high and with open source models and cheaper, efficient and more capable hardware entering the market, AI will become a cheap commodity. Very useful tool, but not beholden to access bazed on expensive tokens. If hyperscalers were smart, GOOG, MSFT and META should cut their losses (capex) and save their businesses. They are diversified enough.
Then short Anthropic and use the proceeds to go long on GOOG for free. If you're that confident in your long winded thesis above, it means you've discovered a free money machine......[gulp]......
Can you imagine if the index replaces all the stock ticker with Pokemon pics? So instead of tickers say $GOOG, it's comes out as Ditto the pokemon pic and you click and buy it.. $Tsla = Pikachu!
No I didn't miss anything. Heck I own some GOOG and don't intend to buy any Anthropic after it's IPO. There is academic research showing what happens with stock prices of unprofitable companies with high growth potential: they get super high valuations because their range of potential outcomes is so wide and they receive investor hype, and their value drops as they actually start making money and the range of outcomes narrow. Google makes a ton of money but the majority of its business can't potentially 50x its revenues over a decade the way investors think a more pure play AI leader potentially could like Anthropic.
I'd buy AMZN under 125 and GOOG under 100. Everything else in your list can go into the dumpster fire behind Wendy's.
Yes don't forget about their $500k of expiring GOOG calls.

I'm at an 140 average. Definitely buying more of RDDT and GOOG on Monday
GOOG ITM January 250 call and sell the 350 sell the January 250p and it all gets called away and put goes to zero. I’d be ok with that.
Why are people so stupid? GOOG is down 10%.
Hmmm. Genuinely concerning change of business practice. Where will advertisers divert their spend? Maybe I should have bought the META dip instead of doubling down on GOOG
GOOG charts are beyond hideous rn and their FA stinks so bad, no one wants to get near it I wouldn't be surprised if folks want to wait till next Q's Earnings Call and see if they can finally deliver on their promises, it would be the prudent play
He isnt looking for a move, OP just needs any positive price movement to be profitable. These are deep ITM they aint going to zero guaranteed. Hes just leveraging some cash expecting a rebound soon. OP I think these will work just have a profit goal and sell when you hit it. Fridays price action shows GOOG is at a realtive bottom for short term
I bought GOOG calls as well but they expire in 12 weeks not 1 lol
suggest a large GOOG investment
my risk tolerance has gone up, I think I'm ready to invest in some of those new fangled internet stocks what does everyone think about GOOG?
I have like a super large position in GOOG. Have been buying almost every month since 2021... My cost basis is roughly 14x the last time I checked
google: we've deployed AI at scale to billions of users GOOG -100%
How ironic it would be if GOOG decides to actually dial back AIO as it cannibalizes too much their ad business, which would mean RDDT will get more logged-out users again - but now we close that door. Continously shooting one in the own foot.
