Any words of wisdom on the google split. I’m thinking of buying a few shares before the split, in my mind all the poor bitches who are fooled in thinking a split is worth a damn will purchase more stock.

There is a couple pieces of legislation in the works, not sure the harm it may cause to big tech, but basically Google is considered a monopoly, because they can decide what products/companies and/or viewpoints are pulled up from the search etc.

Otherwise, this is good info on the split.

Oh when the Fed raise interest rates(March), the Tech companies usually suffer some losses, that may be a better buy in time.

I bought some ahead of the google split. I thought it was supposed to happen Wednesday. Not sure where I read that, but it didn't happen. Then I looked it up again and saw something about July.

The ability to buy fractional shares may impact it some, but I don't think it will as much as some people think. Most online brokers, like Fidelity, Schwab, etc. don't do fractional shares and I think the current cost is a decent barrier to entry. I think you will see a bunch of people with traditional investment accounts (i.e. no ability to buy fractions) dump money into Google after the split.

Google has been in legal trouble in the past. They get slapped on the wrist and keep on googling. Read about their market share and cash on hand. I think they will be around 10 years from now and still largely profitable. I just wish they paid a dividend.

Something that I think about doing often but never do.

When a stock that I own reaches 100% increase, I normally will throw more money at it. My logic is that it has been a good investment and I should increase that investment if I want to see it continue to grow (faster than my other stocks).

With all the inflation and speculation of a market correction, I've considered dumping 50% of the stocks that are over 100% return. That would put me back at (or near) my initial investment and guarantee some returns. On the positive side, that essentially takes that investment and makes it zero risk because I can't lose any money on it. It might take a hit, but the company is unlikely to go bankrupt. The downside of that strategy is that it cuts my potential earnings in half.

The market has been kicked in the tights over the last month and I'm down (just like everyone else). I don't plan on selling anything because that would be a taxable event and I don't need the money right now. That said, I would hate to lose it.

Red Dawn looming.
Ruff day in overseas markets, mirror reflection will be similar here.

If that was happening at our border there would be thousands of people protesting for Russian immigrant rights.

Stocks are down, oil is up with Putty and USSR forces are moving in, I really feel like Im postioned well for some decent buy ins and oil gains. Only thing that worries me is the sell of this house in a timely manner.

Russian banks increased interest rates from 9% to 20% over night, probably to help stop inflation.

Russian stock market was delayed, and then canceled entirely for today.

Had lunch with one of our executives last week. He told me that no government in recorded history has survived when the national debt exceeded 90% of GDP. He also said that ours was around 130%.

According to Google, it was 134% in 2020. I'm guessing it has gone up since then.

Curious what is about to happen when the Cares Act expires and gov groups have to report loan payment status on real estate.

Consumables.

Remember last year with the lack of products, it's going to be worse here in the next 30 to 60days.

Prepare.

That same exec basically said that he's telling anyone who will listen "if you go to the store to buy a can of beans, buy two (or double what you normally would) as long as you can afford it."

It's going to be all the asia/chinacrap products. And yes, food prices are expected to rise another 8% before the end of the year, just ridiculous.

Wheat is forecast to increase 42.7% and 33.3% for barley, 20% for soybeans and 29.8% for oils and 41.8% and the exports from Ukraine and Russia have fallen drastically which supply 1/3 of worlds wheat supply.

World inflation will hit double digits, massive starvation in third world countries.
