Alphabet can be the largest company very soon

The most valuable company in terms of market capitalization is Apple with a market cap of 523,90. Alphabet`s market cap is 508,76, which means there is only 15,14 that separates them, which means Alphabet can be the largest company very soon.

66% of Apples sales comes from iPhone and Apples new release for iPhone 7 is in September. That is a very long time to wait. Before that, the sales can slow down, and so can the stock. It can go in the other direction for Alphabet.

Alphabet will come out with a new report after the bell close today. Wall Street`s estimates for EPS is expected to come in at $8,17, with revenue of $16,9B.

Last summer, they changed the name to Alphabet Inc, but Google will continue as the company`s legacy business and include core properties such as search and advertising. Alphabet will continue to invest in self-driving cars, health care, Google-X and smart homes.

So, this will be the first quarter to see how both segments are doing it. Alphabet`s shares rose 46% last year after cost cutting initiatives and a lot of reorganizing. We will probably hear more about that later today.

Alphabet is focusing on innovation and growth and their search division has contributed to the recent robust growth. They introduced YouTube Red and will continue with acquisitions. They succeeded with their strategic mobile initiatives, so it should be a good quarter for Alphabet (GOOGL).

Alphabet can be the largest company very soon.

Alphabet Inc near all-time high

I remember the tech boom in the late 90`s. It was so many great tech companies and we all knew that this was the future. Investors were buying tech stocks with both hands, and we all know the results; A BIG FAT Bubble.

We can see some similar things going on today. Twitter was a hype when they went public in 2013 at a share price of $26. Investors liked the stock and it soared to about $75, but it all stopped there. Wednesday this week, Twitter traded at an all time low at $15.

Twitter is not alone in this bubble club right now. Many other tech stocks has suffered lately and I think there is different reasons for that. The main reason for the smaller tech companies is easy money because of the rock-bottom interest rates.

Together with inflated tech stock prices we can also see sky-high Silicon Valley real estate prices and rents. Just like we saw in the late 90`s tech boom.

BlackRock slashed its valuation on Snapchat by 24% last year, while Fidelity slashed its valuation on Dropbox by 31%. So things are about to change. Easy money will not be so easy now, which means it will be more difficult for many tech start-ups.

But some tech companies are still going strong.

One of my favorite stock since 2005, are trading higher on friday. Alphabet Inc (GOOG) is up +2,59% on friday, trading at 745,46. EPS for Alphabet Inc is 21,26 with a market cap of 493,21 Billion.

Alphabet Inc was a big Monster last year, adding nearly 47% in 2015 and traded just below $800 in late December at an all-time high!

It is revealed that Google, in 2014, had paid Apple a sum of $1 billion in order to keep their search bar on the iPhone. Google obviously understand how important it is to have their own operative system on Apple`s iPhone.

Alphabet Inc is a collection of companies like Calico, Google`s health and longevity effort; Nest its connected home business; Fiber, its gigabit internet arm; and its investment divisions such as Google Ventures and Google Capital, and incubator projects, such as Google X.

Many investors have a buy rating with a target price of $850. Others up to $900. I look forward to Apple`s quarterly earnings report next Tuesday, and Alphabet Inc will report on February 1, 2016.

Shareholders are holding their breath to see if today`s rallies will continue.

Twitter at record low on Wednesday

It seems like investors have lost all faith in Twitter. A stock that has plummeted so far in 2016. A bad start of the year for CEO Jack Dorsay. Both of his company’s (Square and Twitter) have plummeted.

This is exactly what I have talked about recently. Twitter need a change, and maybe Steve Ballmer is the man? He have a great stake in Twitter and I assume he is not buying into Twitter without knowing something? Or does he have a great idea?

Because Twitter have a great opportunity, but need to change the business model. Im not gonna reveal any secrets about that right now, because my ideas is not for free. But look at the stock today (Wednesday). Its up 4,19%. What`s going on?

Global stocks tumbled on Wednesday, and Twitter plunged more than 7% today and hit a 52 week low at $15,48. This is the lowest ever! A stock that started the first trading day on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2013 at $26.

Twitter bounced on Wednesday because there is a lot of rumors out there. A takeover rumor.

I have earlier talked about a possible Facebook takeover because they are both great mini-bloggers, but other may be interested. What about Alphabet? Or Ingram? Robert Murdock has denied any takeover for his News Corp.

Investors are disappointed because User Growth and product development has failed. It will be an easy shortcut to join other social media companies, but if they have some ideas to make it on their own, I think they will have a long way back up again.

Mr. Jack Dorsey has a 3,2% stake in Twitter. A company with a market cap of 11,3 Billion, and an Earning per share of -0,86.
