When Your Blog Doesn't Even Show Up on Google --- 🌙 Hi, this is Alaris. Today, I want to share something straight from my heart. When I first started this blog, my biggest dream was to connect with people around the world. And maybe, if things went well, earn a little income through blogging too. So I kept writing, little by little, day after day. But these days, the hardest part is that there's not just no income — there are literally zero visitors. 😢 At first, I wondered why. That’s when I learned about something called Google Search Console. ⛳ I’m not someone who’s good with computers. I didn’t even know where to start. But for the past three weeks, I’ve been trying — submitting URLs, uploading sitemaps, setting up RSS feeds — doing everything I could think of. And still, my blog doesn’t show up. Honestly, it’s been crushing my spirit. When I first started, I was full of hope. I wanted to share what I was learning about the seven companies I’m studying. I wanted to share o...

But the real story is why the price moved like this.
📰 Major News That Moved the Stock
🧠 1. Amazon’s Massive AI Investment
CEO Andy Jassy released a shareholder letter stating that Amazon plans to spend $100 billion in 2025 — a huge portion of it aimed at AI infrastructure.
That means new data centers, custom AI chips, and powering Amazon’s cloud (AWS) for a smarter, more AI-powered future. 🤖💾
🟡 It’s a long-term play.
🟠 But in the short term, investors worry about profit margins getting squeezed.
🌍 2. U.S.-China Trade Tension
The U.S. government hinted at new tariffs on tech-related imports from China.
While Amazon isn't a manufacturer, its supply chain depends heavily on Chinese components — from devices to servers.
🚨 That means:
-
Higher operating costs
-
Potential product price hikes
-
Slower consumer demand
➡️ That tension made some investors nervous.
🧭 So... Should You Buy More?
That’s the question, isn’t it?
Let’s break it down ⤵️
✅ Long-Term Outlook
Amazon isn’t just an online store anymore. It’s:
-
A cloud empire (AWS) ☁️
-
A logistics giant 🚛
-
And now, a growing AI powerhouse 🧠
📌 If you believe AI will shape the next decade, Amazon is positioning itself as a key player.
🧩 Alaris's Honest Take
Let me say this softly but clearly:
✨ Amazon is still strong.
But it's not in a “buy blindly” phase like it was 10 years ago.
Here’s what I’d suggest:
🔹 Use a dollar-cost averaging strategy — Don’t dump all your money in at once.
🔹 Stay calm during drops — Volatility doesn’t mean weakness.
🔹 Ask yourself this: “Would I be glad to own this 5 years from now?”
If the answer is yes — maybe the dips are just quiet invitations. 🕊️
🌿 Final Thoughts
In times like these, patience is power.
Amazon is pouring capital into the future. That doesn’t mean it’s a risk-free stock — far from it. But it does mean there’s a clear vision behind the noise.
So breathe, watch, and invest with eyes open — not with fear, but with purpose.
I’ll be right here with you again next week 🌙
