On January 31st, Google releases it's earnings for the 4th quarter of calendar 2006. Professional analyst consensus is an 88% year-over-year rise in profits. I'm expecting something above 100% because: 1) Microsoft still "doesn't get it" 2) Yahoo still didn't release its new ad system and 3) Google just keeps improving! Adsense and distribution deals have kept Google flying high in popularity for searches and ad clicks. And Google has some of the best context matching technology in the world. What can I say, let's all enjoy a bit of GOOG upside next week. It's virtually as good as free money!
