GOOGL is a holding company, similar to Berkshire Hathaway. One reason I bought was because their biggest company is Google, I am not just a google fanboy, I am a Google whore to put it bluntly, I spend a lot of time on YouTube , Google music, and Blogger, I also own 2 chrome books and a chrome box. I own two android devices as well. I think of Google the ways some people think of Apple. I really like their products and services.Another reason is Alphabet INC owns Boston Dynamics, the robotics company, I have been very impressed seeing demos of their human like robots recently, they even have a contract with DARPA. My hope is by helping GOOGL by having a stake in that company they can eventually build me the robot girlfriend I always wanted. I'll even settle for a servant at this point, a robot to keep me company and grab me a beer.
Also they own healthcare companies, an investment VC arm as well as their R&D company Google X , self driving cars and private outer space efforts. There are a few other companies they own, but a Google here and there doesn't seem too bad especially at their scale. We are talking a huge infrastructure operation as well as software ...
