Portfolio Review: Google

Over the next couple of weeks, John and David will be reviewing their real-money 10-Bagger Portfolio. In this video, they take a closer look at Google.

Google has been performing very well for the portfolio of late. It is, of course, the No. 1 online search engine, well ahead of Yahoo! and Microsoft's Bing. And its Android operating system continues to be the leading OS for smartphones, and an important piece of the future of search as the mobile computing trend progresses. Google is investing in all sorts of new ideas, from Google+ to compete with Facebook to its Nexus 7 tablet, which will give Amazon.com's Kindle Fire a good run for its money. For such a big company, there's still plenty of growth ahead of it. Today, investors are paying an attractive price for the growth of search engine advertising, while getting plenty of additional options for free.
