  1. Anyone know why Google is leaving Apple in the dust today? Just asking. I couldn’t find any news for a nearly $20 share price jump.

    I don’t get it. They say that $670 is too much to pay for an Apple share, but it’s OK to pay $700 for a Google share. I’m sure there must be some logic behind it but I don’t quite see it. Google’s fundamentals are no better than Apple’s and price targets are pretty much the same. Apple has far more reserve cash. Neither has any debt. It doesn’t appear as the cost of Motorola for $12.5 billion has hurt Google at all as many mentioned it would.

    1. If I knew the answer to that I would be rich. There are many that will give you an answer, but the best experts will probably say…hell we don’t know (more for aapl-related fluctuations which often baffle everyone)

    2. Google has several high performing business units that are not dependant on device sales. Let’s talk Google in 10 more years and they will be one of the largest companies in the world. Remember Google is a very young company hence not as many outstanding shares.
