Even after the massive total market correction in the last few weeks, the earliest that GOOG was the same price as today is not even a full year ago. In fact, it's up 90% since 2022.
Any stock market source would tell you GOOG was ~140 USD at the start of 2022. Today it is ~170 USD. A 20% increase over three years, about the same rate as inflation and S&P.
This is extremely trivial to verify. Was this written by a GPT bot?
My friend why so irritated... I was just explaining why you two got different numbers. And my numbers of other companies are also calculated from the start of 2022.
I guess my broken English doesn't match today's bot quality :)
> > GOOG is around the same price as it was in 2022
That's the comment pb7 replied to by saying it's up 90% since 2022 (which is true, or even an underestimate, depending on where you measure from) and to which you responded calling them a bot because your own measurement, from the start of the year, gives a lower number.
cvhc is pointing out that it's the different choice of where to measure from that caused the difference in results - neither are incorrect.
