In a move made to compete with Skype and possibly Apple, Google is now offering a feature which allows users to use the phone to contact one another via Gmail. It will be interesting to see if Google will provide better reception than that of the iPhone. And if it eventually provides the ability to use this from a mobile phone, then it will truly compete with the iPhone as a service provider.
For now, the feature is only available in the US, but once it is available throughout the world, it will be interesting to see how this will affect the price of Google stock. Advanced investors may be able to take advantage of binary options and game the news ticker, watching carefully for when Google makes the feature available worldwide and when it expands features. You can see our previous entry written in March for more of an explanation on how to use this strategy to make a return on your investment.

Apple’s quarterly profit shot up by 78% due to sales of its iPad and latest version of the iPhone 4. This was in $1 billion more in revenue than Wall Street had predicted, and Apple’s 4th quarter revenue is projected to be $18 billion.

The 3rd quarter increase in sales is in spite of consumer and media reports and media which have both announced a problem in reception with the iPhone4. Steve Jobs’ reaction was to sell free cases for the phones.
It is also in stark contrast to other technology stocks, such as Intel, Hewlett Packard, Cisco Systems, and Yahoo all dropped in the 3rd quarter.

Of these three, Microsoft is the leader in profit, with $4.25 billion compared with Apple’s $3.25 billion and Google’s $1.8 billion. Profit dollars come from the release of Windows 7 (with 175 million copies sold), Bing, and Office 2010. Microsoft has announced that it will later release a smartphone and the Kinect.

Public announcements of stock sales is an excellent time to invest in binary options, as we will discuss in a later post.

Google, a company started by Dr. Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998, provides website indexing, online content, Internet search solutions, and targeted advertising for those in the industry as well as the general population.

Its stock has been rising fairly steadily since it went public in 2004 (see chart below), although at certain times it has dropped or risen sharply. These points of sharp increase or decrease can be a great opportunity for binary options investors.

Google stock is a valuable asset, and current negotiations are taking place by Google founders over who will get majority control of company stocks.

There is no question that Google stock will remain valuable in the future.
