On Wednesday GOOG/GOOGL will report earnings
The company has spent an enormous amount on CapEx, but has also been experiencing rapid and incredible growth in cloud revenue. The ROI/CapEx narrative is more important to investors than the chaos in the middle east.
Berkshire Hathaway recently added a $10 Billion equity stake in GOOG/GOOGL, and Warren Buffett in a recent interview said he was responsible for supporting the investment and regretted not buying in sooner.
Over the weekend there's been an uptick in chaos and violence in the middle east. Outbreaks in violence as well as renewed peace announcements have had a demonstrable diminishing impact on market volatility since the war began. Wars trigger initial volatility and safe-haven buying, but stock markets rebound climbing the wall of worry.
GOOG earnings will determine whether or not the market makes gains or losses this week.
