[magness]

Yeah, I agree this week is very nice!

[FrancisUnderwood]

What an awesome end of week. Slowly but surely Google's reaching a $1000. I'd expect to see that number by the end of year, perhaps, but this is one hell of a surprise here.

Alphabet's Google to Improve Algorithms to Combat Spread of Fake News

4/26/17, 12:34 PM
12:34 PM EDT, 04/26/2017 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG) Google said on Wednesday it's improving its search algorithms to combat low-quality content, offensive material and the phenomenon of "fake news."

The most high profile issue it's facing is "the phenomenon of 'fake news,' where content on the web has contributed to the spread of blatantly misleading, low quality, offensive or downright false information," Ben Gomes, vice president of engineering, wrote in a blog post.

He said while it's making good progress in tackling the problem, in order to have long-term and impactful changes, more structural changes in the its search engine are needed.

The next step toward improving the search engine to bring up more high-quality content from the web, includes improvements in search ranking, easier ways for people to provide direct feedback, and greater transparency around how search works.

"It's become very apparent that a small set of queries in our daily traffic (around 0.25%) have been returning offensive or clearly misleading content, which is not what people are looking for," he said. "To help prevent the spread of such content for this subset of queries, we've improved our evaluation methods and made algorithmic updates to surface more authoritative content.

It also gave new guidelines for the people who rate search results for the company to enable them to appropriately flag misleading information, unexpected offensive results, hoaxes and unsupported conspiracy theories.

GOOG and GOOGL shares were down 0.2% and 0.1% respectively on Wednesday afternoon.

Almost $900. Even sooner than I expected, considering all the YouTube issues. Nice.

GOOGLE practicing censorship to downplay what 'THEY' believe are Hoaxes and what 'THEY' believe is Fake News. Question is: "Who are 'They' "?

How strong and well GOOGL is moving before the earnings! We don't have to worry.

Yes and No.

I wondered if percentages were going to pop up in the picture, LOL, and I almost put that in that post that the focus is on a dollar amount not a percentage amount.

But lets take it there...

If you compare a low priced stock, percentages do enter in the picture, all in my humble opinion mind you, ;) and that's only because larger percentages come into play when the stock is cheap to achieve what we are talking about and you need to look at whether a stock can actually move that percentage to begin with.

But looking at the two prices 400 or 800 and looking at the daily moves a stock in this price range makes anyway - Looking at the daily moves you would be comparing a 1.25% move on one set (the 400) compared to a .625% move on the other (the 800 )to equate to a five dollar move. Right?

Technically, both are easily reached either way. Those are small percentage moves in all honesty.

So - I'm sticking to my original thought. LOL

The advantage is more shares.

[24601]

That's why percentages are useful in assessing price changes.

A 1% increase in a position occupied with 200 shares at $400 = $800.

A 1% increase in a position occupied with 100 shares at $800 = $800.

It's a matter of sound math.





.

[eastunder]

When you are comparing cost - yes.

Same cost 80k vs 80k

but if you moved five dollars up on one vs the other -

100 shares at 800 moving to 805 (+500)
vs
200 shares at 400 moving to 405 (+1000)

then owning the 200 shares is better for you bank account.

So it's a matter of math.

[FrancisUnderwood]

No, you wouldn't be. Because it is the same thing. I don't understand why people even bother with price. If you like the stock - buy it. Simple as that.

[24601]

Would I be a rookie to think that owning 100 shares at $800 is as good as owning 200 shares at $400?




.

[MikeBK205]

Ugh I wish iHub would just ban rookies for now, and leave this app to the professionals. Ugh, whatever I guess :-/

[FrancisUnderwood]

Why should they? The price alone shouldn't be an issue. If you like the company - buy it.

[MikeBK205]

And they're trading over $800 per share, why won't they split again?

[24601]

They did a 2-for-1 split in 2014.




.

[MikeBK205]

Does anyone know if GOOGL will ever plan on splitting. Why aren't they already?

[FrancisUnderwood]

We're headed up to $900!
