For the first time in Google’s three and a half year history, quarterly earnings missed analysts estimates. I saw the potential for this scenario during a post I made in January because of the program changes Google made that I feel would adversely affect profitability.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Google shares drop under $500 in [...]
