The sacred Silicon Valley behemoth of technology is finally showing weakness.
Crazier things have happened.
In fact, Google recorded the lowest growth since 2013 and that goes well back when the US economy was picking up steam after the Great Recession.
Revenue growth slowed to 6% from 41% a year earlier as the company suffers from a continued downdraft in online ad spending.
The ramifications are quite large as it essentially means that in the short-term, the digital ad industry is impotent as we head straight for a 2023 recession.
I would say the most surprising part of the whole report was to see Google’s “growth” asset, YouTube, floundering at just 2% growth.
It’s still a $7 billion standalone business but to see that much of a decline was somewhat surprising.
Philipp Schindler, chief business officer for Google, said the company saw a pullback in spend on search ads from certain areas such as insurance, loans, mortgage, and cryptocurrencies.
The underperformance in numbers is yet another bad omen for ad tech companies and Snap was the canary of the coal mine when the stock dropped 28%.
Considering the disappointing tone of the industry now, it’s not shocking to see the CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg just ignore his entire Facebook business for the metaverse.
It’s that bad selling digital ads now.
Google’s earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 24% year over year highlighting the challenges of running a large tech company during times of high interest rates and high inflation.
It’s a recipe for underperformance and we are seeing it in every part of Google’s business.
Maybe one of the only bright spots was the Google Cloud surging by 38%.
The cloud is one of the few growth drivers still left at Google.
The problem I have with Google is one that I have with many other big Silicon Valley tech firms.
They have become stagnated and too corporate.
They aren’t the leaders of innovation they once were and have pretty much juiced out the cash cow business they possess whether it be Apple’s iPhone or Google’s search engine or Meta’s Facebook.
The Silicon Valley bros aren’t immune from the rough times.
Long term, it’s hard to see Google becoming the growth engine they once were – a firm that consistently expanded 30% each quarter.
In fact, what I see clearer now than before is the cannibalization of Silicon Valley.
These big firms are starting to behave in a way an investor can understand as a scarcity mindset.
When the pie is perceived as shrinking, companies will step on their toes to get that extra piece of the pie.
Many of these moves illustrate this new entrenched mentality whether it be Apple’s sensitivity to others using the Apple store or the inability to offer stock-based compensation to new employees.
And that’s if a company is still hiring, last time I checked, many tech firms have either frozen hiring or are deleting big swaths of employees.
The new acquirer of Twitter also plans to fire 75% of Twitter’s staff on Day 1 removing the Chief Diversity Officer and many of the frothy positions that don’t add much value.
Big tech needs a reset and this is just more confirmation that restructuring is needed badly.

Bitcoin slipped to around $95,000 this week after a delayed U.S. inflation print and hawkish Federal Reserve commentary raised doubts about a near-term rate cut.
The result means that another modest adjustment in interest rates is already priced into the markets; traders are now focused on whether further cuts or hikes will follow.
There was some fleeting hope back in 2022 that the Federal Reserve wouldn’t need to tighten further, but those ideas were dashed as inflation surged.
A similar dynamic persists in 2025: markets still swing whenever inflation surprises, even though today’s debate is about the timing of cuts rather than large hikes.
Let me remind readers that the US Central Bank employs over 10,000 Ivy League-trained economists earning well over $150,000, yet they are navigating a policy landscape still shaped by earlier missteps.
The longer the Fed allows persistent inflation to erode the health of the US economy, it could be argued that we might be living in an America with only rich and poor people in the future. While “hyperinflation” never arrived, multi-year price increases still stoke that concern.
How does this affect cryptocurrency?
In one word – devastating.
Crypto is reliant on low rates to fuel overperformance.
High liquidity is necessary too.
However, we diverged from those two pillars through 2023–2024, and only recently has easing begun to appear on the horizon.
Crypto, like physical gold, needs rates to be low to represent an attractive investment because of its speculative nature.
The uncertainty now centers on whether the Federal Reserve will delay rate cuts into early 2026.
So what did the price of Bitcoin do upon hearing this news?
In 2022, Bitcoin slid toward $18,000 on similar macro fears. Today, it fell toward $95,000 as traders reassessed the timing of future rate cuts rather than hikes.
Cryptocurrencies had been trading mostly sideways at times earlier in 2025, but Bitcoin’s consolidation ranges now span tens of thousands of dollars, not hundreds.
That’s been a key shift, and a clear move lower this year led to correction lows near $74,000 for Bitcoin. Ether’s mid-2025 lows were near $3,500.
Clearly, there is a lot to worry about for readers who are heavy crypto traders.
Moderating but sticky inflation still leaves the economy vulnerable to price spikes heading into winter.
My guess is that upcoming high inflation data will show up in the form of elevated utility bills, particularly in natural gas.
The sabotage and geopolitical tensions that disrupted energy supply in prior years still echo through markets, and OPEC’s decisions continue to have global effects.
The negative events are just piling on top of each other at this point.
I just don’t see how Bitcoin sustains itself above six-figure territory in the short term.
If it does surpass $120,000 because of a bear-market rally, traders will take profits yet again, rinse and repeat.
Although equity markets may rally through the day, this remains another reminder of the strategic fragility of this alternative asset that once offered so much hope.
Crypto has turned into nothing more than an ultra-speculative asset that, in times of tight liquidity, goes on life support.
It remains volatile, and although institutional adoption and ETFs have added legitimacy, its price still fails many traditional store-of-value tests.
Sell any rally over $120,000 because it won’t last there long.

Google allowing crypto payments to its cloud services from Coinbase Global (COIN) doesn’t move the needle.
COIN is the crypto exchange platform that has run into a litany of problems recently, from falling trading volumes and regulatory fines to shifting strategic focus.
The news is a footnote to the carnage that is really happening front and center in the crypto market.
Funnily enough, why would a customer choose to pay for Google’s cloud services through Coinbase when fees are still meaningful and alternative rails (cards, bank transfers) dominate?
Crypto isn’t cheap, and it doesn’t pretend to be.
Ether (ETH) remains infamous for its “gas fees.” In 2021, they averaged around $63 for one transaction, which contributed to its lag behind other networks.
In 2025, the network has improved (via upgrades like Dencun and protocol optimizations), but fee-peaks still occur and many users have migrated to layer-2s or alternative chains.
Bank ACH transfers are free or very low cost, and so are most debit/credit card purchases.
Even though El Salvador claims to be a crypto-first economy, most everyday transactions continue to be completed in cash or U.S. dollars.
At least crypto will now be allowed to transact on Google’s platform (or at least participate via some rails), which is a victory in itself, but I don’t believe this will catch on like wildfire.
Crypto is up against a Sisyphean task.
The Google Cloud infrastructure service will initially accept cryptocurrency or crypto-adjacent payments from a limited set of customers; the roll-out is far from universal. Meanwhile, Google has pivoted toward broader payments infrastructure, agentic AI commerce and blockchain layers.
Over time, Google may allow more customers to make payments via crypto or stablecoins but the emphasis is no longer solely “pay with Bitcoin/Ether” but “use stablecoins or tokenized rails.”
Coinbase will (or already does) earn a percentage of transactions that go through whatever rail they enable but the margin of that business remains tiny relative to its overall operations.
It remains high risk to hold crypto on the balance sheet. Coinbase no longer flags a large impairment charge the way it did in 2022, but it continues to grapple with volatility and shrinking core trading revenue. In Q2 2025, Coinbase’s revenue fell to about $1.5 billion, with consumer spot trading volumes down ~45% year-over-year.
Therefore, I expect Google (or Google’s payment rail) to charge a fee or apply a conversion spread to turn crypto in and out of fiat - just as before - or to prefer stablecoin/fiat rails entirely.
From the outside, this really does look like a marketing gimmick.
Blockchain technologies, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), have moved out of the “wild hype” phase; for Google’s cloud division the bigger focus now is on tokenized assets, stablecoin infrastructure, AI-agent payments, and building developer tools around these.
Google has announced the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), an open standard for AI-agent-led payments that supports stablecoins among other rails.
Previously, Google pushed for growth in major industries such as media and retail. This year, it started forming more teams around blockchain, payments infrastructure and “Web3” tooling but the narrative has shifted from “crypto payments” to “tokenized finance + AI commerce.”
However, I thought that crypto was going at its lone-wolf style hoping to create a parallel system to the fiat money system which it despises.
Apparently not.
Tying up with a mega-tech corporate firm sounds like they are giving up to me.
It seems as if the founding investors are ready to cash out and leave the die-hard crypto believers for a more stable income stream.
Annuity-like income stream is something many crypto firms lack and locating one is a hard sell.
Crypto was supposed to be “decentralized” but this appears to be a move that will offer Google the keys to Coinbase’s data while limiting them to lateral moves.
In short, this is a move that allows more centralization in the biggest crypto platform in the United States.
Growth was crypto’s calling card and that means parabolic growth possibilities are over.
Integrating with Google also means Google will have deep insight into how they can use Coinbase to profit from digital currencies - since Coinbase has agreed to onboard their data onto Google’s cloud infrastructure in some capacity.
Honestly, this is a bone-head strategic move for Coinbase, and my inclination would be to buy Google’s stock if one believes in crypto.
Desperation can trigger some unusual moves and we are seeing that in real time. But analyzing the bleak short-term prospects for crypto, this might be a move for survival rather than anything else.

Logistics company FedEx, although not a tech company, offers a fascinating insight into the health of the economy and the current state of the tech world.
Unfortunately for tech readers, the shipping company rang the alarm on the rapidly deteriorating state of the economy in August.
It’s my job to tell you how it will shake out for tech stocks.
FedEx’s earnings report disappointed signaling that tech stocks too, could be on the chopping block. I would agree with that too.
This debunks the myth of the “soft landing” that the US Central Bank likes to refer to with their challenge of high inflation. I believe the soft landing is priced into tech stocks, but not a hard landing yet.
The result is possibly more downside price action to tech stocks.
CEO Raj Subramaniam painted a gloomy picture of what to expect in terms of lower volumes.
FedEx could be the canary in the coal mine signaling ugly earnings for other large tech companies that do business around the world.
The tech companies that come to mind are Apple, Google, Facebook or Meta (META), and Snapchat (SNAP).
Raj is not the only executive who is spooking the tech market.
CEO of Alphabet or Google Sundar Pichai had his own gloomy opinion that adds insult to injury to the already negative sentiment prevailing in trader sentiment.
He said he feels “very uncertain” about the macroeconomic backdrop, and he is one of the few who has deep insight into the different layers of this complicated US economy.
He also warned that layoffs could be in the cards as the company seeks to boost its efficiency by 20% while staving off fierce economic headwinds and antitrust investigations.
A large element of such downbeat forecasts by executives is the roaring price hikes from everything like diapers to salami.
The one ironic tidbit that I took away from the last inflation report was that the recent explosion in inflation has been in rental housing.
If this is the case, then high-income individuals, who mostly own rental real estate, are passing on inflationary costs to their tenants who are strapped with a worse financial profile.
This means that high-income individuals still harness the resources to spend, spend, spend.
Why not go lease a new Maserati or Aston Martin?
If that’s the case, we could see this group pick up the slack and power spending all the way until Christmas which is a net negative for tech stocks because it delays the Fed pivot.
Warnings from Subramaniam and Pichai indeed have weight to them, but keep in mind that these businesses are optimized for scale and reflect the general situation of Americans, not just rich people.
High net worth individuals reloading the consumer bazookas don’t move the needle for the entire US economy, but they do have enough gunpowder to trigger another bout of inflation or rental increases to build on the already high inflation existing in US prices.
Short-term traders should focus on selling rallies in poor tech stocks as upside momentum cannot be sustained in the face of anticipated interest rate rises.

A fresh analysis from the C-suite at the top 1,000 U.S. companies by revenue offers us critical insight into the direction of tech management.
It’s important to keep our finger on the pulse of what’s happening at the higher level of tech companies because these are the key people that drive the game-changing decisions.
It’s no surprise that the banking and financial services industry has the oldest average CEO age at 60, and the technology and energy sectors have the youngest CEOs at an average age of 57.
Technology companies harness new technologies that can lead to new businesses so that would usually trend younger.
Compared to other industries, tech companies also have a boom-bust element to them because technologies go extinct quicker, and refreshing a CEO is always on the table if the bust element creeps in.
Interestingly, the current tenure is down from an average of 8 years to 6 years, meaning that the leash for tech CEOs is getting shorter and shorter.
Much like highly paid professional athletes these days, there’s no learning on the job type of mentality. It’s overperform now or face the sack.
This mentality emphasizes short-term performance which revolves around the quarterly earnings report and stock-based compensation to employees.
Then add in the wild card of forced lockdowns and China’s increasingly aggressive attitude to politics and it’s simple to understand that boards need to quickly change management if they believe they cannot navigate these herculean tasks.
Just a few instances where critical decisions are being made can be seen in Apple when CEO Tim Cook yanked China production and moved factories to Vietnam.
Vietnam is becoming the new factory of the world for tech companies because costs and political risks associated with China are accelerating.
Now, throw in the Taiwan situation after top U.S. government officials chose to visit the island and tech companies are now worrying about their supply of Taiwan chips needed to harness artificial intelligence.
CFOs are usually the second most important person in a company behind the CEO because they guard the balance sheet and usually possess a strong accounting background.
Yet they can be disposed of quickly for bad performance which is why tech CFOs only tenure 4.1 years if we compare with other more stable industries.
The key findings here is that tech management has never been so prone to high turnover.
Due to the internet, competition has supercharged the fight for highly paid positions and data can be calculated in real time because of superior analytic platforms.
Management won’t be able to hide poor performance because of the close tracking.
As much as it’s difficult to make a famous name as a C-suite manager, tech CEOs with a proven track record can expect elevated attention which is why if guys who have built successful tech firms like Jack Dorsey reach out to investors, they will get whatever starting funds they need.
This builds on the winning take mentality in technology which has a few outsized winners among the crowd.
On the trading front, I would hesitate to buy tech stocks from management that is unproven.
I would urge traders to go into long-term bets on guys like Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Elon Musk and don’t compromise on the quality of tech management because it makes a big difference in the future price of the stock.

Below please find subscribers’ Q&A for the August 10 Mad HedgeFund Trader Global Strategy Webinar broadcast from Silicon Valley in California.
Q: What are your yearend targets for Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Google (GOOGL)?
A: Higher for all but I can’t give you the exact date and time. Google has a special situation in that they might be hit with an anti-trust suit in September, so that could cap things. For Tesla, we have the Twitter overhang, and Elon Musk sold $6.9 billion worth of stock last week to fund that. And then Nvidia could have another dive, depending on how much of a glut in chips there is, but I'd be buying any chips from here on. By the way, if Tesla breaks the old high of $1,200, which I expect by the end of the year, we could get to $2,000 very rapidly on yet another massive short squeeze against the permanent Tesla haters, who’ve already been completely decimated by the last 60% move.
Q: How would I play Amazon (AMZN) going forward?
A: Buy the dips. I think they’re going to be the world's dominant retailer going forward and they’re doing the right things and going crazy.
Q: Which sectors?
A: Well, for ETFs, you can look at the ProShares Ultra Technology ETF (ROM). That’s 2x leveraged long tech. But only do that on dips because the volatility of the ROM is enormous since it’s 2x in the most volatile sector. Also, I think we can start taking a look at banks again, what with interest rates rising and a recovery on the horizon, banks could come back into play after sitting at the bottom for the last 3 or 4 months.
Q: I’m doing a LEAP on Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX); should I go for January 2025 or 2024?
A: I’d go longer dated—that way you can get a bigger move and will almost certainly be on a full-on economic recovery, and massive electrification of the auto fleet by 2025, thanks to the climate bill that will be passed Friday. That means the demand for copper is about to go absolutely through the roof—I'm looking for (FCX) to go from $30 to $100 in the next 3 years.
Q: Thoughts on Disney (DIS)?
A: No one can believe how cheap Disney has gotten, it’s been a disaster. Obviously (DIS) took it on the nose with the recession and some of the parks still have limitations on the number of visitors. It should do better and I'm amazed it got this cheap. I would expect a move to the $200 level by the end of next year.
Q: What LEAPS do you recommend for January 2023?
A: Well it’s not really a LEAPS if you’re only going out 6 months; that’s just a long-dated call spread. LEAPS are usually a year or longer. I’d say pretty much anything in any sector will be higher except maybe energy by 2023. We’re not at LEAPS territory yet, but we’re getting close. The next major selloff I might start putting LEAPS out there.
Q: Is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropping from 9.1% YOY down to 8.5% meaning the top is in and deflation’s over?
A: I think so, because there are a lot of price declines that were not reflected in this July number that have yet to come. I'm talking about wheat, lumber, and energy. So yes, we could get another big move down in August, and if that’s the case, the Fed may only raise by 50 basis points in September. That's the hope. The things that aren’t going to go down are rental costs and labor costs. We may never get back to the inflation rate that we had 2 years ago of 2%. The long-term average for the last 100 years is 3% and certainly a move down to 4% is possible this year (and would be very welcome by the stock market as part of my long-term bull case).
Q: What are your thoughts on Elon Musk selling $6.9 billion worth of Tesla shares?
A: It’s amazing he sold that amount of stock last week and only went down $100. It does remove a big overhang on the stock and paves the way on a much bigger move up later in the year. By selling the $9 in January and $7 now, that’s $16 billion he sold this year. He could almost pay for Twitter with a little outside bank financing.
Q: How far above current prices should I place a LEAPS?
A: It depends on where the market is; if we’re having a cataclysmic selloff down 1,000-point days, then you can have the luxury of going 10%, 20%, or even 30% out-of-the-money; and that of course gets you a 100%, 200% and 300% returns. If we have a higher low, then you may want to go lower risk and go at the money, that might get you a 50% return. On LEAPS that are only slightly in-the-money, even those generate 25% returns one year out with the most conservative possible position.
Q: Would you load the boat on dips?
A: I would but remember: a dip is not one hour or on down days, it’s like half of the recent gain, which would be down 1,500 Dow points, or all of the recent gain, which would be down 3,000 points. So be careful that you don’t get too aggressive just because you’ve gotten bullish.
Q: Do you think the semiconductor chips will lead the tech recovery in the second half of the year?
A: I do, but we do have an inventory problem to digest first, and we have to figure out the implications of the CHIPS act that was signed this week which makes available a couple hundred billion dollars to build new chip factories in the US. Chip companies are particularly challenged right now because they have to provision for a recession which is going to cut chip demand, and they also have to provision for a potential oversupply created by the CHIPS Act. Remember that for the industry, creating safe supplies of chips means more lots of chips at lower prices for consumers. Great for us, great for the auto industry, not so great for chip companies. You have to be careful. On the other hand, on the bullish side, chips are being designed into more products faster and in larger numbers than ever before. This is the main reason why most investors underestimated the chip industry for the last 10 years. That also is a factor that’s accelerating. The average car now has 100 chips. 20 years ago they had maybe 10 chips, and 30 years ago they had none.
Q: Will the eventual big win of Ukraine against Russia result in inflation going back to 2%?
A: No, but it will result in it going back to 3% or 4%, which we could hit next year. You get oil back down below $50, gasoline down to $2/gallon, and the world's food supply opened up once again, and inflation will disappear in a heartbeat.
Q: What’s the deal with the 1% buyback tax in the inflation reduction package?
A: Well they had to get revenue somewhere, and 1% is so small it won’t inhibit anyone from buying back stock, especially if it makes the CEO a billionaire. That is a great incentive—even if you had a 50% tax, they would still be doing buybacks for things like Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and the other buyback players.
Q: What will high energy prices do to crypto?
A: It might actually make it go up because the cost of electricity feeds straight into the manufacturing/programming cost of crypto. And if you notice, Bitcoin bottomed at $17,000 per bitcoin. But that's exactly where the new mining cost is. Just like all of the commodities, when you hit cost of production, the supply suddenly dries up because nobody can make any money at it.
Q: Will US homebuyers buy the dip since mortgage rates have come down?
A: Yes, and we’re already seeing that in the statistics. The fact is we still have a huge housing shortage in the United States. You don’t get big price falls when you have a shortage of supply, and you have 10 million millennials who still need to trade up from their one and two-bedroom apartments all over the country. So, things may stall a bit in home buying, but I don’t think you get very big price drops.
Q: Do you think the US consumer is strong?
A: They never stopped being strong, even throughout recession fears. Never, ever bet against the propensity of Americans to spend money, both individuals and governments.
Q: What are the chances the US goes to war with China over Taiwan?
A: Zero. # 1 China doesn't have ships, #2 we have the 7th Fleet there, and #3 they have been threatening to invade Taiwan for 70 years and done nothing. The Taiwanese are used to this. Though there is the other side issue that most of the other private companies in Taiwan are already owned by the Chinese and have Chinese capital, so it’s unlikely they want to blow up their own facilities. So, the answer is no.
Q: What is the Long term outlook for gold and silver?
A: It’s been dead for so long that I’m not inclined to rush into gold. But you have to expect that when you get a recovery in the commodity boom, it’s going drag gold and silver along with it. I see upsides for both of these, especially silver.
Q: Should student loans be paid off by the federal government?
A: I think yes, because as long as these people have massive debts, they cannot borrow and they cannot enter the US economy as consumers. If you forgive all student debt, you unleash 10 million new customers onto the market who can now borrow, get credit cards, and take out home mortgages. As long as they have massive debts, they can’t do that.
Q: With all the major companies in the world moving to EVs, where are we going to get these commodities?
A: We’re not. Tesla (TSLA) has already locked up major supplies of commodities over the next 10 years, and everyone else will have to pay more money. Some of the weaker producers like Ford (F) and General Motors (GM), are being restrained on shortages of not just chips but also basic commodities like chromium for stainless steel. They’re going to have a real problem competing with Tesla, which is why you own Tesla.
Q: What do you think about the unprofitable tech companies like those in the ARK ETFs (ARKK)?
A: I would avoid those for now. Why take on additional risk buying a non-earning company when the highest quality companies are selling at the cheapest valuations in ten years? Maybe when the big companies like Apple get overvalued—go up another 100% — then you might look at the smaller companies if they’re still cheap. But the risk/reward on the nonearners right now is no good, while it’s fantastic in the large tech companies. That is my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
Q: It seems Russia’s strategy has mirrored those of the Czars.
A: Actually, what they’re doing is repeating their WWII strategy, which worked in 1945— not so much in 2022; and that was massive artillery barrages against retreating Germans. Except this time Ukrainians are not retreating and have far more modern weapons than the Russians.
Q: Would you buy Micron Technology (MU) on bigger dips?
A: Absolutely yes; but again, wait for the down days. You have plenty of volatility in chip stocks, no need to pay up or chase higher prices.
