FIFY: Google discloses $94B loss
passwordoops•33m ago
"The company’s marketable equity securities include $80 billion in shares subject to short-term restrictions and $14.1 billion subject to long-term restrictions"

Actually more like $14.1 and whatever value the other $80 is worth when they sell. Which is probably going to be worth well North of whatever is lost on the $14.1 B long-term... All part of the scam to inflate the value of the AI bubble

exactly. amazing what sort of showman Musk is. Didn't he sleep with Brin's girlfriend at one time?

It will be difficult since they acquired it for less than a billion 10 years ago.

They didn't invest 94B$

But yes the stock could go down much further and I hope they are willing to show the losses if they can show this as gains today.

Imagine the next call being about how their 95$B went to sub 30B$..

Will that be a negative line item. I don't see the point in disclosing this stake as earnings.

But I do get that accounting was made as a tool for companies to show off.

Hopefully they made this investment pre-IPO at some vastly lower valuation because otherwise… …this is a not going to end well for them.

They got in at a ~12B valuation. They'll be fine

If true then they paid under $800 Million for their 6%, now valued at $94 Billion.
dagaci•11m ago
Yes, google they paid $900 millions in 2015 for about 7% stake, 100X. % Number probably fell because of all the "merging".
rubyfan•31m ago
Didn’t they just raise $85B “for AI”?
throwaw12•15m ago
100x return, I would sell immediately after this kind of gain, maybe that's why I am not a Google

Feeling sated and not constant greed is no way to build billionaires, nope.

I'm sure at an $80 valuation they will tell everyone how it's time to buy as it slides down further
ajross•6m ago
This is a micro/macro mistake. You obviously can't dump a 6% stake at strike price on Robinhood.

"The Market", at this scale, means "You find the buyer(s) yourself and work up the deal with a hundred lawyers and PR staff and hope the contract negotiation stays secret".
