Google shares have slipped this week, but investors ought to look past the Google stock price's latest hiccup.
The company continues to be an innovator and its stock an outperformer.
The Internet has come a long way since the 1990s. Since that time, three web-based sectors in particular have become tech investing cash cows.
The e-commerce, mobile advertising, and cloud computing are worth a combine $2.6 trillion, and a quintet of firms are rising to dominate these segments.
Since the last bona fide financial bubble, the real estate and credit bubble of 2007 to 2009, it seems like every time anyone pays a few pennies too much for a stock, there is a flock of analysts ready to start crowing "bubble!" like so many birds on a wire.
I believe that any pundit who calls a sector or market a "bubble" when they really mean "fundamentally or technically overbought" should be banished from pontificating until the real bubble appears.
And the charts I have to show you prove it...
