when does goog report earnings--i think their growth slowing could show up this earning`s report from a comparison standpoint---goog/bidu----ran up to 515/128---then sold off---and then a lot of money came in after the new year--thinking they could ride these two high beta stocks back up---but bidu hit 126, faded, will be very interesting week with it being tech week versus earning`s/weather/oil, geo-political/domestic/congress
goog hasn`t faded yet---but i think whatever high it reaches in january will be the high for the year (maybe with the exception of a november/december runnup) of course earnings could send the thing down hard---don`t see it going above 515 though even on good earnings.
Yahoo had tax selling at the end of the year, but it has jumped since the new year, partly undervalued, partly piggy-backing, that company was tied to the economy`s outlook last year (auto/mortgage ad revenue) they sure aren`t a super growth stock anymore under current management---but could benefit from panama in 2nd half of year---but poor economy could cancel these expected monetization gains out---after jan earning`s they could jump up to 30, or back down to 23 a share---they should beat lowered expectations--but they are not going to overwhelm anybody with that management team---look how long it took just to get panama rolled out---they were talking it up last march-may--will probably trade with the (nasdaq) markets from here until earnings.
