Google Analyst Day: Prelude To A Kiss Or A Kick?

Who knew Google would have such a dramatic prelude to its second annual analyst day? Really, all CFO George Reyes did earlier this week is repeat what I thought Google has been saying for a while — a maturing business doesn’t have the same kind of growth rate so Google is looking for other kinds of monetization. From the reaction, you’d have thought he suddenly declared the emperor had no clothes. Anyway, certainly set the stage for what could be a more interesting day than expected at Google HQ. From Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck’s wish list (via MKTW): “Wish No. 1: Answers to a slew of questions about the health of Google’s advertising system and improvements in its ability to wring ad dollars from traffic to its search engine and other products, such as its email and local-search services.”
