A bit of light humour after Thanksgiving

[TrustyJules]

As all our American friends are recovering from their dinners and drinks, a bit of light humour on this Monday. A friend of mine knew I was an active trader and asked whether I could share my portfolio with him and we could then discuss it. To be fair to him, he was a complete newbie and I restricted myself to sharing my shares portfolio explaining that the options bit is perhaps a bit complicated. The idea was that we would talk about it and how to build a balanced portfolio, again credit to him he took it seriously and researched the companies in my portfolio perhaps further than even I had. He therefore came prepared with his homework for our discussion this weekend and proudly laid out what he found, prefacing it with:

 

"I researched all the companies in your portfolio, there is just one I had an issue with: ALPHABET, I googled it but can't find out which company it is."

I had to restrain my laughter so I won't wake up my wife!!!!!  (punch line:"googled it" !!

That is genuinely brilliant. He did everything right, deep research included, and still managed to run straight into one of the best corporate rebrands ever. At least he proved he understands due diligence, even if Alphabet made it harder than necessary.
