Why I start buying Alphabet Inc. (WKN: A14Y6H) today at 950,50€

in hive-167922 •  5 years ago 

The most simple answer to the question above is: "Because I believe Alphabet (Google) will survive the Pandemic!" I was invested in Alphabet before this market panic started its (full?) blossom because of its simple dominance and because I see a big potential in its AI unit DeepMind. However, on the 25th of February, I sold off for 1322€ with a nice return. During these turbulent times, I put it on my watchlist trying to buy it back for a discount (in my opinion). Today, my buy orders were filled with 950,50€ per share and it will hopefully not turning our to be the falling knife that I caught. Anyway, I will another by order at 760,40€ that is -20% from the current price.

Alphabet has a strong cash flow generation that is supporting its strong cash balance, which is around $120Bn. With this much cash a company may most probably survive an also a pandemic environment. Furthermore Alphabet's cash balance represents more than 15% of its market cap, providing a margin of safety and flexibility. Therefore I feel comfortable buying now, even though the worst may not be behind us. I spread my buys over time, try to be disciplined as there is no playbook for the current situation.

There is no doubt Alphabet will be here long after the pandemic. It is also somewhat insulated as compared to other industries.
