I still dislike that they called the company Alphabet, because it's something that we teach our youngest. Commercialization starts early.

- ehsankia 7y agoIt's meant to be alpha-bet, where alpha is investment return above benchmark.
- vertline3 7y agoAhh that makes sense, like seeking alpha. I was thinking it was due to indexing things from A to Z.
- ehsankia 7y agoThere is definitely double entendre going on, which is why they picked that name. At the surface it means one thing, but it has a second more relevant meaning hidden in there. They make bets which make great returns on investments, and these bets cover everything from A to Z.
