Why do I own GOOGL?

EP03 · GOOGL — Google: every day, all day

In production · coming soon in this series

The short answer

I own GOOGL because YouTube, Search and Gmail run my day — work, questions, entertainment, and the inbox this whole operation depends on, several times a day, every day. A habit that deep would mean rebuilding everything if it vanished tomorrow. So I keep adding to it: used daily, held for the long run.

The full note

This episode is in production. The written note is below first; the bilingual video will be embedded here when it publishes.

YouTube, Search and Gmail — every single day, several times a day. Work, questions, entertainment, and the inbox this whole operation runs on: it is hard to find an hour that does not touch one of the three.

A habit this deep passes the series test before we even run it. If it vanished tomorrow, the rebuild would touch everything. So this is a holding we keep adding to: use it daily, hold it for the long run.

In one line: YouTube, Search and Gmail, every single day — a habit this deep is a holding we keep adding to.

Research and education only. This series is one small investor's personal holding notes — why he bought, in his own words. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation, and not a promise of returns. Holdings change, prices fall, and a product one household cannot replace can still be a bad investment at the wrong price. Read the full disclaimer before acting on anything here.
