"Alphabet’s stock tanks with analysts asking, ‘Hey Google, what happened to revenue growth?’"

Maven is both a competitor and partner of Google. One might think that is a good thing, but it actually makes us vulnerable on both fronts.
One thing which might happen: Google blames inability to get a firm hold in the Chinese market for the slow down. Reported in PCWorld, that's what some tech companies did. But more importantly: Google will not cut its thumb off to please its elbow. These partners need each other, and hurting one damages the other.
The good news: after reading the article, Google still appears to be the most prosperous cash cow on the planet.
The bad news: it is unknown how Google will pay homage to the concept of the balance sheet that the analysts hold as their living God.

O.K. Forgive me. However, I must admit: You bring up an issue we should be concerned about. Thank you. Respect and admiration from this author to another.
Thanks. For the record, I am likewise fond of Google. I even wrote a positive article about them long ago. I've reread the article recently and saw no reason to change anything.

Is it better to stick to a certain "genre"?I'm new and I don't like to just write hubs on certain "genre's". I'm wondering if that is ok, or if I will suffer in the long run because of it. I know people will only "follow" you if they continuously like what your writing...
