IMHO Google/Alphabet's strategy should have been reinvesting their huge profits in buying other big companies like ARM, Nvidia or SpaceX.
With EBITDA of $24B in 2016, they could buy about a 3rd of NVIDIA. With financing they could probably buy more, but its not clear this is better than putting some of that money into replication, or earlier stage companies.
I know, but in 2015 or so.
Also, Softbank acquired ARM as an investment and it is already paying off.
Hasn't Google Fiber been all but shelved?
I'm thinking of buying some of that stock.
