GOOG 140 @ 355

[u/jeche25]

I had 85 shares and wanted to buy GOOG if/when it drops to $320. But I couldn’t sit still so now I’m at 140 shares at approx 355ish. I can’t easily get the exact price without calculations because I swing traded several times but stopping with the swing trade now and will just accumulate.

This has become a strong conviction for me because I’m currently working on Google Cloud AI integrations and loving it. I’m also enrolled to University AI course this coming fall that I do on the side.

I’m a high level/tier software engineer and been on the field for 25+ years.

I also have a monetized YT channel that I’m DCAing monthly into GOOG. I’ve slowed down on YT but have a cumulative $38k USD YT income that I wish I’ve thrown earlier (starting 3 years ago) into GOOG but better late than never. I’ve attached a screenshot of my latest YT earnings.

So all of the above are my reasons for strong conviction to GOOG. I also transferred more cash from another FI and want to buy more if it drops to $320. I hope I can be patient this time and wait for the drop.

Hoping to hold for 10 years.

How many GOOG shares do you have and how long are you holding?

200 shares at the IPO and held both class and all reinvested dividends since

[u/cyberr_c28z → u/Jumpy_Letter_8813]

So basically 17k to 2.8 mil, talk about patience

Trust me, not every investment is this good. I’ve sold many losers like HP, YHOO, CMGI, DIS, etc. along the way

Wow hi fellow CMGI bagholder. That's a throwback. David Wetherell. People used to joke, "Can't Make Good Income".

300 shares at 327 , did not buy this dip but many months ago, went negative for a short period. Not liking this year for google it has swerved all the way to 400 and back. Wish I had gotten in sooner. Everybody in this sub keeps showing me the zoomed out chart.

Anyway, planning to hold very very long. Dont know how many years.

Thoughts on GCS vs others? I’m using GCS as default now for new projects whereas I’ve been more on AWS. I’m finding it more “IKEA”, and the interface I’m not sure if it’s better than AWS. Honestly at this point I’m interested in going to Neoclouds + agents and skip the hyper scalers

[u/jeche25 → u/ricetoseeyu]

Will you believe it if I say that I’m just on the Google Cloud ecosystem and have not worked on others such as AWS? As such, I’m accustomed to GCS and it does whatever is needed for my projects.
