It's Tuesday, October 29th.

Welcome to Market Foolery.

I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio from M-Fam Funds.

It's Bill Barker.

Thanks for being here.

Thanks for having me.

If you like eating at restaurants or having food delivered to you, we've got two stocks

in those categories.

I would just add parenthetically, they are going very much in opposite direction today. We're going to start though with alphabet. at It looks to me like a speed bump, but you looked at it more closely than I did.

Why would you assume that?

Well, I'll tell you why.

They were light on earnings.

Everything else was essentially as expected. You're not giving yourself enough credit.

Look at you revealing how closely you've looked at it already.

I don't want for one second for anyone listening to this podcast to think for one second, then I'm an analyst.

Over the years I've gotten that comment from Times, you know, you're a financial analyst,

no, I'm not. I'm really not. What do you call yourself at parties? I don't really go to

parties. Let's get back to Alphabet's third quarter. This did look like they missed on earnings. Everything else.

Revenue was sort of in line with expectations. The different divisions seem to be

performing about as expected. They didn't really do anything radical to the guidance.

And so that's why I look at this and say, okay, yeah, I get why the stock is down 2% for a company

and a business that has otherwise been crushing it for the last 15 years?
