Google Earnings Report Analysis

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Taking a break from the recent Dow Theory series to give my two cents on today’s earnings beat by Google. It’s a stock I own so I’m understandably thrilled by Google’s recent earnings report. Google’s shares had shed nearly 40% of their value since reaching a peak at $750 and fallen to their 52-week low […]

Apple, Tech Firm or Not?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
