Yes, that is an important distinction. I'll give @[Shelly Palmer](user:4838) another example to further that argument. I used to work at on online store and we also sold items on #eBay and #Amazon to get access to their millions of customers, just as app maker sell their apps on #Apple and Google's app stores. But we charged a little more on Amazon/eBay to cover the higher fees. Customers knew they could always buy them directly at our site for a bit less.

But Amazon and Ebay never said we were forbidden to sell items for less on our own site. That would be completely unfair in my mind. And it seems like there is some collusion between Apple and Google if this is their policy.

#fortnite $AMZN $EBAY $AAPL $GOOG $GOOGL

Well, #Buffett himself admitted to mistakes in $IBM, $ORCL, and Kraft Heinz. He also admitted missing out on $AMZN and $GOOG

#Google is listed as early investor, but so are #Alibaba, #Microsoft, and #Amazon. Not sure how much Google really owns, especially when prospectus says that we may compete with these same cos. Looks like NET has closer ties with Alibaba, so my impression is they aren't that connected with Google as much as article implies!

$GOOG $GOOGL, $BABA $MSFT $AMZN

I think #Google is undervalued. It's got its hands in a little bit of everything and will only continue to grow. It's uniquely positioned to thrive. $GOOG $GOOGL

How can you be so sure that #Huawai's security flaws are innocent errors? I used to be that naive, but more and more I'm learning that powerful companies abuse their power for their own profit, at users expenses.

For example, you may recall years ago #Google's mapping vehicles "accidentally" hacked in to people's networks and stole their data. It recently came out, as per Bloomberg, CNN, and others, that this was not an accident, but was done intentionally: www.cnn.com/.../index.html

If $GOOG could do somethign so nefarious, why not Huawai?

Carol is right. Companies are getting out of control and crossing lines knowing that if they get caught, they'll only get a slap on the wrist. I just read about how when #Google's Street View mapping cars passed by people's homes, they intentionally hacked into their wifi routers and stole users' private data. This was barely in the news, which is shocking! $GOOG $GOOGL

They knowingly stole users' info, kept it for years, and now only have to pay $13 million. Outrageous!

Some good stocks here. But I never understood the lover for $ROKU. To my knowledge all #Roku does is provide a line of products to watch movies and music over the internet. But the market is proliferated with such products, and there are many superior products by real market leaders like #Google, #Apple, and #Amazon. $GOOG $GOOGL $AMAZN $AAPL

You presume they didn't know about it til now. I don't agree, Everybody knew. They had to wait til Zuck made it public.They will kill #Libra. The govt doesn't want a currency in the private sector. It could be used for drug trafficking, money laundering, etc. and like you say, where $FB goes, $AAPL, $GOOG, $AMZN could follow. They'll try to squash it like a bug.

Give me a break, how’s $GOOG and $FB a bubble with their PE and PEG? BoA should worry about the flattening yield curve.

I'm actually a bit surprised by the weakness seen in $GOOG as their fundamentals are still in place and going strong. They are also developing a lucrative range of investments ranging from self driving tech to robotics, This differs significantly from $FB despite the fact that both companies are in the business of customer data.
