Alphabet Inc (GOOG)

[I-Man]

The "Alphabet Company"... When I was involved in global consulting biz, we did lots of DD for various ventures tied to Big banks, etc and VC groups. Whenever we got into conversation to certain high level persons, they would use the word "alphabet company" in a manner to describe a covert hidden agenda operation (not wanting principles'names known publicly), whether to funnel or hide monies discreetly offshore or certain tax shelter operations, and this is what bothers me about Google here today. If this is Google, Uses ticker Google and GOOG and be done with it. To use ticker called GOOG and a company name of "Alphabet", this brings back very bad memories of past bad doings going on in financial world et al related to fraudulent humanitarian projects and financial fraud...

Something to think about here.
