Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) reported a great quarter and once again shattered analysts best guess estimates across the board. The stock market is jubilant this morning on that and other favorable earnings reports recently as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, DJIA, is up over 100 points, threatening 13,000.
Google was up yesterday in after market trading and is currently (11:30 a.m. EST) trading at $488, up 3.5% from yesterday's close.
In my post yesterday, Serious Money: You asked about Intuitive Surgical?, I blogged of my own venture into a dramatic growth stock and even went as far as to outline why Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) was the superior investment compared to Google.
While Google has taken the market by storm and grabbed all the attention, ISRG is currently trading up 10.3% to $133.66 on an equally astounding earnings report, beating estimates by 9 cents per share. Both companies are charging into the future with great promise, leading their respective sectors and leaving all estimates behind in the dust. GOOG and ISRG look unstoppable at the moment, but investors should be careful with all this euphoria.
If you are not familiar with ISRG, perhaps you should take a look.
