Great news.... anyone expect GOOG to split any time soon?

I always hate on the valuation but their continued growth (and by extension, internet growth) is just mind blowing to me and the quality of their balance sheet is simply impeccable (all of this applies to Apple equally so).

Yet GOOG is still negative YTD.

So is practically the entire S&P.

Oh, I know. I was just stating that in case anyone felt they were missing out on a big move.

I see. Well I'll just reiterate my point that I think the valuation is ridiculous, but the company is rock solid fundamentally. The same can, and has been ad nauseum, about APPL, but some people cannot grasp the difference between a good company and a good stock.

There's a massive mystery in Google's financial results

Google [GOOG] reported stellar 2011 Q2 earnings but Google’s partner sites, which used to account for half of its revenues, showed a massive lag in growth.
The partner sites are part of Google’s AdSense network and include large media companies such as The New York Times.
Google’s own sites, such as search, gmail, etc showed 39% growth in the most recent quarter compared with the year ago quarter, to $6.23 billion.
Google partner sites grew at nearly half the rate: just 20% compared with a year ago, to $2.48 billion.
This huge disparity between the growth rates of Google sites and partner sites is without precedent for most of its history. For example, in 2010, Google sites never exceeded the growth rate of partner sites:
- In Q1 Google sites grew 20% and partner sites grew 24%
- In Q2 Google sites grew 23% and partner sites grew 23%
- In Q3 Google sites grew 22% and partner sites grew 22%
- In Q4 Google sites grew 22% and partner sites grew 24%
Yet in Q1 2011 Google sites’ growth jumped suddenly and without any explanation: Google sites grew 32% and partner sites grew 19%.
For some strange reason no one has picked up on this change or noticed this glaring change in its business model. There is no explanation from Google or Wall Street analysts that I could find.
