”If you’ve enjoyed the $100 rally in a week or so, not only would I take profits but north of $600, I’d think about going short,” Adami says.
Adami isn't the only wet blanket. Trader Stephen Weiss is pretty wet. He says "stay away and wait for the stock to settle down. And don't use Google as a read through for other companies that benefit from advertising revenues. It's a special company."
By the numbers, Google said its net income in the three months ended September 30 grew to $2.73 billion from $2.17 billion in the year-ago period.
Excluding certain items, Google said it earned $9.72 per share in the third quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S were expecting adjusted EPS of $8.74.
Third-quarter net revenue, which excludes fees that Google shares with partner web sites, increased 37 percent year-on-year to $7.51 billion. Analysts were looking for $7.22 billion in net revenue.
Also Google said that it had signed up more than 40 million users for its recently launched Google+ social network, a data point that investors took to mean it was competing with rival Facebook.
