$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)$Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice's attempt to break up Alphabet (Google) seems like an investment opportunity to me. First, let's be clear: dismantling a national tech leader in the current context of great power competition is absolutely self-sabotage—a move so foolish it's beyond comprehension. OK, let's look back at Microsoft's attempted breakup in 1998. Even at the peak of U.S. power, they couldn't break up Microsoft. So how can a relatively weaker U.S. today possibly break up Alphabet, which is far more powerful than Microsoft was in '98? Personally, I believe this breakup won't succeed, but Alphabet will still take a beating. Plus, with the current interest rate cut cycle, I believe we'll see some very attractive low prices in the next six months.
