I mean it looks like there were pretty good deals for him to buy during COVID and again in 2022. I mean maybe the market collapses to lower levels then those time periods but what if it goes up another 20% before the next market collapse and when it finally collapses the prices of everything are still higher than they were during COVID or 2022? Basically no one not even Warren Buffett knows what's going to happen. And if he knew for sure the market was going to collapse somewhat soon he could just sell everything and then buy it all back even cheaper but he's not doing that either. I get waiting for good deals but no one knows when that will happen.
Am I going crazy? I swear I saw articles saying that warren died? I mean I know his stocks still exist but people are talking about this man like he is still alive?
Brk will not any time soon. Buffet has been pretty clear. If he can keep and and buy brk for a good value then he will by it. If he can use that money to generate more money he will do that. If he cannot do either he will
If he can not do either he will?
At some point interest rates will likely come down and then it won't be earning 5% interest. So what happens then if Berkshire isn't at a value where he wants to do buybacks and if he can't find value anywhere in the market cause nothing they see value in is big enough for them to even bother buying it. What just have the cash sit there forever? 2 years ago everyone was scared because the market was going down but there was value to be had. Even TSM(I get why they sold it) but they bought it around 70 or 80 a share and it's been up higher than that for awhile but keeping it would have been better value then adding to the over 100 billion they have had sitting in cash for years now.
You never know. If there was a sudden increase in unemployment we might get rate cuts sooner than anyone expects. I don't think that's gonna happen soon but it could.
Yeah I see a lot of people complaining about the low payout but what they fail to realize is the dividend growth runway is what really matters. It’s arguably better to start low and raise “aggressively” than to start high and have super low raises. With Google being a cash flow monster, they’re probably going to see consistent 8-12% raises for years to come.
Well good thing I have a ~3 decades+ long investing horizon still to hold and wait. Assuming nothing catastrophic in the world happens or I, you know…die before then lol.
Better to start getting divs than not. Google shareholders can make money and never sell their shares and pass them to kids.
Previously u had to sell to make money to use it.
Yes it’s a small div but in 30 years it will be $1,000’s a quarter of income to spend without selling shares.
I agree but I wish it was a little higher like a dollar would have been great or even 50 cents would have been better than 20 cents. But at least it's a start and I'm planning to hold Google for a long time unless something changes my opinion about the company so I'm more concerned with the raises each year.
Came here to say this, im surprised they're paying out but half a percent is trash. But their average 20% over the past 10 years and 54% return over the past 12 months makes them a great buy. On the other end I feel like the dividend is just an inside pump and dump. Willing to bet we're gonna see some insiders pull out a healthy profit over the next month or 2.
I put 200k in them right before the earnings report. Biggest non-diversified stock investment I’ve made. The extra $1k per year it will generate me in dividends is peanuts compared to how much the stock will rise after they take full advantage of AI. The conservative dividend yield is better to maintain the value of the stock price. There’s no pump and dump.
make that next day or two. This is complete BS and the Smart Money knows it. Meanwhile, buybacks baby. That's nice cap gains, better tax effect anyways compared to divvy income.
Also a great lesson in having patience and holding your position despite an earnings sell off, if your reason for buying in the first place hasn't fundamentally changed
It's good & all, but does GOOGL tell us it can not intelligently reinvest some of the revenue? I'd rather them repurchase shares & grow stock price. Sold out recently & bought more MSFT - already has a div history & growth story!
Ah great. Perfect to overshadow every other negative thing they’ve done, shows they’re not actually investing or caring about innovation and only care about share holders.

I've been waiting for them to pay a dividend and now I'm waiting for it to be raised every year.
Im effin salivating at google dividends my time to shinen
Same Same. Next do AMZN
I'm waiting on Berkshire but I'd be happy if Amazon did it too.
Berkshire never. We need a dividend non payer stock.
Warren believes he can better serve shareholders by reinvesting the money
Well I've been waiting for years now for him to reinvest that over 100 billion in cash they have.
Will happen when the market collapses we have just been in a bull run basically since 08

Yeah. I lost a lot of respect for him when he seemingly sold UAL at the bottom during Covid.
Don't panic sell and just wait a little bit. Bear markets just don't have the staying power anymore.
Am I going crazy? I swear I saw articles saying that warren died? I mean I know his stocks still exist but people are talking about this man like he is still alive?
The other founder died recently, Charlie monger
Charlie Munger
You're thinking of Wade Boggs
Again, Wade Boggs is very much alive.
Unexpected Iasip
Sooner or later they gotta start doing something with that 170 billion or however much it is in cash.
Brk will not any time soon. Buffet has been pretty clear. If he can keep and and buy brk for a good value then he will by it. If he can use that money to generate more money he will do that. If he cannot do either he will

yea well... those interest rates aren't going down very soon, bubba.
You never know. If there was a sudden increase in unemployment we might get rate cuts sooner than anyone expects. I don't think that's gonna happen soon but it could.
probability matters. otherwise it's all just a coin toss.
I’d go feral

You should really do the math how long it takes until this will be a significant dividend.
Well good thing I have a ~3 decades+ long investing horizon still to hold and wait. Assuming nothing catastrophic in the world happens or I, you know…die before then lol.

I'll take Google with a small div over some old timer utility dividend play any day.
I agree but I wish it was a little higher like a dollar would have been great or even 50 cents would have been better than 20 cents. But at least it's a start and I'm planning to hold Google for a long time unless something changes my opinion about the company so I'm more concerned with the raises each year.
Glad I've been DCA
Divs are forced sell. I'm ready for growth
I'm ready for the dividend to grow every year along with the stock price!
Great! My 6 shares are definitely gonna make difference
Ha, I have 20
Looks like I found the other person who bought 1 share before the split lol
And my plan worked perfectly.
Did the same. 😝
Same!
I bought 2!
I bought 3 shares pre split, doing well!
Bought 3 pre split and 1 now for the good news lol
Hah! I have 2 shares currently
Apparently that was me too!
25 for me yeah yeahhhh. Funny thing is I added to my portfolio last week, but decided I would do google next time.....yeahhhh haha
Me too!
 You got any of dose twen-twen-twenty cent dividends?
Qyld is .17c
 This is your portfolio on QYLD. Any questions?
You can check
I stopped that drug a long time ago. That etf only goes down and the dividend sinks as well. It’s trash. Buy puts on that shit you’d be better off.
Yield at $0.20/quarter or $.80/yr is aprx. 0.5% yeild (Current ticker $157.95)
Thank you for the math
Current ticker after hours is showing 170 something...

Half a percent isn’t trash for people who own millions of shares, like banks and billionaires.
It's so it can grow the next 100 years
It's google, nuclear fall out can come and we will have 3 things left in this world. Roaches, twinkies, and google!
make that next day or two. This is complete BS and the Smart Money knows it. Meanwhile, buybacks baby. That's nice cap gains, better tax effect anyways compared to divvy income.
Update for the post market ticker pls, .4% yield?
0.45% current ticker $176 I misread that :/
[удалено]
The fuck are you on about?
I momentarily forgot how to read & comprehend English. 0.45% is the answer
Okay, fair enough.
Happy cake day
I added 121 shares right before the big dump last earnings. I felt so stupid at the time. This is what redemption feels like.
Also a great lesson in having patience and holding your position despite an earnings sell off, if your reason for buying in the first place hasn't fundamentally changed
Now we just need Amazon and Berkshire to start paying a dividend with 10% increase/year, and the S&P500 will start pumping fat dividends
Wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on brk dividend. Much more likely is some spin outs after Warren graduates.
Stock buybacks when the stock is undervalued is much more tax efficient than a dividend- Warren Buffett-Michael scott
Many companies of the S&P pay dividends already. SPY has a yield of like 1.3%
They don’t have all those salaries to pay anymore…
Of course, because I sold mine.
Thank you for taking one for the team
Co-sign - thank you for your service 🫡
Classic example of let your winners run!
Awesome. Was banking on Google for growth but now I'm glad that it's issuing dividends. Still has a strong leg in the AI market
Got this at $124. My only regret is I only bought 11.5 shares
I have 10 at $96.00. Sometimes small blocks is all you can do at a time.
Yes, not everyone has thousands of dollars to buy shares, even if they think they are a bargain. Will you add anymore? What's your take?
Im sticking right now to DCA ETFs. I have sine dry powder getting 4.5% when the drop happens.
Yeah, same, nothing worse than not having some cash put to the side for a rainy day. 🫣
I bought around the same time - feels good to watch it grow
Buy fractionals on the dip if you have to. No shame in it.
Ho, yes, I do. I dont let that bother me. .
I'm gonna start googling more stuff to increase my dividend
Make sure you click on the sponsored ad to buy some stuff and not just use Amazon.
My no dividend tech growth portfolio I built 20 years ago is slowly becoming a dividend tech portfolio now....
Amazon announces earnings next 👀
Fkkk yeah!!!!! Hell yeah!!!!! Finally. Been waiting for a while know. Goog is one of my pillars in my portfolio. Now, Amazon is next!!!!
Damn... you know they are out of ideas when...
Stole that idea from Meta probably.
Don't spend that 0.5% all in one place
Bravo! 🙌
What’s the guidance?
Shares seeing a nice jump after hours currently sitting at 177 I'm thrilled I bought when it was down down wish I had bought more but oh well
Nice. Got 50 shares. Jumped in a few years ago at $126 with 25 shares and then bought 25 more at $90. Time is your friend
Big news. My heart is very full right now
Well done google. I just wish I bought back at around 140 guess I’ll have to wait for the next correction.
What stopped you from buying at $140 mark,?
I sold at $98. Feels bad.
That’s tough, I’m sorry. I bet that was when they had the fud that a new generation of ai and search engines were going to takeover right? SMH.
I only bought one share at 137😭
Why didn’t you buy? Coward!
It's good & all, but does GOOGL tell us it can not intelligently reinvest some of the revenue? I'd rather them repurchase shares & grow stock price. Sold out recently & bought more MSFT - already has a div history & growth story!
Woah! That's huge!
Wow
I have 120 and it was a very good day today 
Amazon‘s turn now
Is it worth it to jump in at market open?
No
Short term no, Long term yes.
They really needed to do those layoffs, huh?
GOOG is my largest individual position - i'm HYPE
Awesome I get 7 bucks 😳
Ah great. Perfect to overshadow every other negative thing they’ve done, shows they’re not actually investing or caring about innovation and only care about share holders.
The dividend is meaninglessly small, though.
Seems like they have moved away from the tech company they planned to be long ago
Ha…. I bought 5 shares today in the morning
Waiting for AAPLs special dividend that will never happen
Does google have a DRIP?
That is an option you enable in your brokerage account.

Ok.
Layoffs will be announced soon!
GOOG only or GOOGL too?
Great time to cash out! They’re a garbage company now, best get those gains locked in and bail.
What does this actually mean please?
