| I reduced the alphabet position by %.   | I reduced the alphabet position by %.   | ||
| Reasons | Reasons:  | ||
| * Alphabet is facing potential long term disruptions to it's search business model by both generative ("ChatGPT") and discovery Ais. ("Reels", "TikTok") | |||
| * Valuation of approx. 22.5 times current P/E or 20 times adjusted for their excess cash seems high in current interest, macro and competition environment.  | |||
| * We don't see a very clear path to neither revenue growth or meaningful cost reductions in the short run.  | |||
| * Alphabet's high revenue and market capitalization base makes longterm growth harder than in the past. The market might increasingly saturate.  | |||
| * Market Sentiment seems too positive at the moment. E.g. 2 Year yields at little over 4% seem too low.  As the labor market stays strong we expect higher interest rates for longer.  | |||
| * There might be a narrative flip against Alphabet at one point e.g. if competitive dangers gain traction.  | |||
| * There might be a better buying opportunity in the $60-$80 range. | |||
