It was just announced today that Google Inc. (GOOG) expanded its lead in the U.S. Internet search market in February at the expense of rivals Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Ask.com, according to data published Tuesday by Hitwise Pty. Ltd. There is only a small amount of non-financial companies with $10+ billion of net cash on the books. The optionality of that war chest in this environment is huge. That plus core business spells attractive here to me.<\/p>\n<p>Google (GOOG) may soon see increased federal sales as one of the beneficiaries of an expected uptick in federal spending on technology. It is well known that Federal agencies are testing Google tools as we speak and a key fan is Obama\u2019s new tech hire!<\/p>\n<p>Google (GOOG) just continues to find new markets to enter and in each new market they find ways to be more efficient and a better value than industry competitors such as print media and ad agencies. They will enable the Internet to compete in markets and methods we haven\u2019t yet conceived. And the markets they are already attacking are huge providing abundant growth opportunities well into the future. I am convinced the conversion process of brick and mortar to digital has just begun.<\/p>\n<p>I am thinking Twitter will get sold for $150m to $250m in the next 24 months. Will Google be the one buying them? Google has a short message for those wondering whether the search giant will soon buy the micro-blogging site Twitter: CEO Eric Schmidt \u201cunlikely\u201d<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-37.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-38.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-40.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Kenny\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/moz-screenshot-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/goog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1099\" title=\"goog\" src=\"\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/goog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/goog.jpg 805w, https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/goog-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some facts about Google (GOOG)<\/p>\n<p>The historical high for (GOOG) was 741.79 on the 6th of November 2007.
