Buy Google Stock Now

Growth is growth, to grow revenue over 15% yoy with increased competition from Samsung is amazing. The margin issue is getting worse but the revenue growth shows Apple can still grow. iTV could put their yearly revenue second to only Exxon.

Google will replace FB because Google gives all of its information to various western (NATO) intelligence agencies, part of the contract they signed with CIA years ago. There will be a full global propaganda campaign to get people to think that FB is stealing their privacy, and wasting their time. Obvious Alternative: a simplified, improved (from current version), and less time wasting Google Plus to officially complete the international Big Brother Registry. Next step... implant micro-chips (oh wait, secret-time: you might already have one). Kinda funny how because Zuckerburg still controls majority at FB he's been able to keep government hands off of non-essential data. Unfortunately, for the hooded horseman, they have already infiltrated his corporation and they are mid-way through orchestrating his downfall (think: Graph Search announcement).

Apple's earnings clearly showed growth, its revenue grew substantially yoy. When Apple introduces iTV this should be another catalyst for growth.

For the stock though, its not good WS doesn't like expectations being met, it wants expectations to be beat. With something as big as Apple though thats impossible, its so big everyone can see what its doing.

Still everyone forgets Apple is growing faster than Google, and look at the difference between the two has been.

Expectations were beat, but it wasn't enough. The glory days are over.

"

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. managed to surprise investors who were expecting a rare earnings decline on Wednesday afternoon, but the company’s results and forecast failed to soothe fears that its days of runaway growth may be in the past.

Instead, investors sold off the already battered stock even more in after-hours trades, where Apple AAPL +1.83% slid more than 10% to around $460 — a level not seen in nearly a year. The shares had already shed more than one-quarter of their value since peaking just above $700 in September.

The sell-off came as sales for the first fiscal quarter ended Dec. 29 came in slightly below Wall Street’s targets. The iPhone sold just under 48 million units —a record for the device, but still on the low side of analysts’ estimates. The company also issued a revenue and gross-margin forecast for the current quarter that was below expectations.

The results came amid questions about the health of demand for the iPhone, which accounts for 56% of total revenue. The last few weeks have swirled with reports of Apple cutting component orders for the device — raising the possibility of weakening demand."

I was short on Apple at 700 and as recently as last week said dont touch it. May I say I knocked them both out of the park.

I think it has stabilized now. I cant see it dropping much more and in the short term will likely come back up to 500 and maybe beyond. I will shift it to a "buy."

That was at 759

I wonder about shorting as a strategy. My thinking is trading long has exponential upside, limited down, while short limited gains unlimited, exponential loss.

Sorry 459

I started a thread that was deleted for some reason called "Buy Starbucks now" this was at $54.

I think it is a very strong stock with years and years of growth. Cheers

True, however stocks typically dump faster than they gain so if your trade is right you can make money faster. Just as you can use a stop loss on a long trade, you can place a buy order to protect or offset a short position should it reverse against you. Assuming you have the money to fund the buy!

1. Google Plus will one day overtake Facebook as THE social network site (in many years).

2. Their self driving car is the future of travel and they are on the cutting edge of the technology.

1. Facebook usage is down. Why do you think people would open up a new account, on a new service, to get at what they've already got?

2. Yeah, the Seque was supposed to revolutionize the way we commute. And do you remember the Palm Pilot?

Google hits a new alltime high of 821.50 while AAPL continues to get clobbered. AAPL now under 420.

Where do you think AAPL will go from here?

AAPL technically looks awful. And while i am not a follower of technical analysis, you do have to respect it because of all the program bots out there in the trading world. Next stop says major support under 400 in the 385-390 area. Now having said this, on a fundamental basis, AAPL looks really cheap. Under 10 times earnings, with a 2.5% dividend (likely to increase)and 140 billion in cash on the balance sheet. Plus there should be some catalysts later this year like another Ipad and Iphone refresh, AAPL TV, IWatch and some type of buyback/dividend increase. I think you might have one final washout to 400 but we're close to a bottom. I think if you buy it here you should be fine.
