Commentary: Google is my largest holding and the second oldest one. I bought with high conviction in 2011 and ever since, I still believe it’s the greatest company and business model in the world. I could write multiple articles about Google (and maybe I will :), but it’s the main driver of my portfolio throughout the years and it’s been the epitome of my long-term strategy described above, i.e. buy broad index funds all the time and buy individual stocks when they are ridiculously cheap. This stock treated me extremely well, virtually never disappointing me and currently is even rewarding me for just holding it via selling covered calls on it.
The best company in the world, the best stock I hold and the best investment I’ve ever done. The forever hold type of stock.
