A private investor for 20+ years, I manage private portfolios and write about investing. You can read my market musings on three different sites: 1) The Deipnosophist, dedicated to teaching the market's processes and mechanics; 2) Investment Poetry, a subscription site dedicated to real time investment recommendations; and 3) Seeking Alpha, a combination of the other two sites with a mix of reprints from this site and all-original content.

07 September 2005

Happy 7th Birthday, Google!

Google/GOOG’s official founding date was 7 September 1998, marking today as its seventh birthday.

In honor of this occasion, the shares broke out above resistance at the 50-day simple moving average (sma). This action, as well as the setup and larger pattern, are similar to early-April 2005. This means

1) The decline was prefatory to a new, intermediate term base (as was expected);
2) The decline and base will be shallow (as was expected); and
3) Could prove brief -- 3 months rather than 6 months. (Either, as was expected.)

Next serious resistance at ~$350, and rising. Do not expect such a move to occur lickety-split, however; this base requires more work before it completes itself.
