Author bought Google options after an unexplained drop to $320 on 7/23, expecting recovery and doubling the position to $28k on a 100% gain.
Author is holding Google calls through anticipated earnings recovery, still underwater but betting on a turnaround to go green.
Google's bull thesis hinges on being compute-constrained rather than demand-constrained, with high-ROIC capital deployment across its vertically integrated silicon-to-distribution stack. At 24x forward GAAP earnings, the valuation appears fair but could be attractive if management's narrative of capacity scarcity and execution persists through earnings.
Author is buying Google on the FOMC dip, taking a $70k bullish position with conviction that the market overreaction presents a buying opportunity.
Author holds GOOG as part of a $2M portfolio that has appreciated significantly. Despite expecting near-term market pulldown, maintaining long stock position while hedging with covered calls.
Author bought GOOG 230 calls (Aug 21 expiry) in early September with conviction that the stock would appreciate, executing a profitable position ahead of recent geopolitical concerns.
Google was irrationally sold off in April due to AI-hype fears around competitors, despite its dominant position and profitability. The author bought at that weakness and is up 50%, illustrating that simple, obvious opportunities beat complex analytical frameworks.
Google's earnings beat combined with a 10B CAPEX increase (75B to 85B) and a 109B backlog signal explosive demand for cloud and AI services that is outpacing supply. The company's willingness to invest aggressively despite volatility demonstrates that AI adoption is structural, not hype, positioning GOOG for sustained growth.
Google appears fundamentally undervalued with the lowest P/E among Mag 7 peers, strong earnings, and multiple high-potential revenue streams (AI in search, YouTube, GCP, Waymo, Android XR). Antitrust risks are overstated given the AI disruption redefining the competitive landscape, and the company's advantages in AI research, quantum computing, and hardware distribution are substantial.
Market weakness is creating a buying opportunity in GOOG. The author is considering accumulating this value stock during the selloff.
End of results.
