Do you see something strange in this screenshot of Google’s homepage today? No, not Bert and Ernie (it’s Sesame Street’s 40th birthday). It’s that ad for the Verizon Droid right there under the search box (today is also Droid Day). Although, the juxtaposition does make it seem like Bert and Ernie are trying to get you to buy a Droid.

Despite this growth, however, Borrell predicts that things will get tougher in 2010, when local online sales will hit only $14.9 billion, or 5% higher than 2009 figures. This slowdown will likely occur because the market is approaching saturation and "the wave many locally focused media companies have been riding for the past several years has peaked,” the report said.

Soon after Google’s (GOOG) earnings I bought a November 570/580 call spread given that the year-over-year revenue growth rate finally seems to be turning around and revenue per employee looks ready to trend upward as well. I am finally getting around to explaining the move (as I promised to do) now that GOOG has reversed all its post-earnings gains.

I have long been interested in the behavior of trading in GOOG directly before and after earnings. In particular, I have looked at the impact these moves have on GOOG’s options. In early 2007, I concluded that, on balance, it is better to be a seller of GOOG options than a buyer before earnings. Since then, only 2 out of 11 earnings cycles have provided options buyers – who happened to be on the correct side of the price movement – good profit-making opportunities. Given this challenge, I decided to expand an analysis I did in late 2006 on the timing of GOOG’s minimum and maximum price moves between earnings. I tried to find consistent patterns in the data that would generate a rule for how to trade GOOG after earnings given the initial reaction to the earnings announcement. I was quite disappointed to find little consistency in GOOG’s post-earnings trading. (For one of many comparisons, click here for a review of exotic options trades ahead of GOOG earnings.)

Last week Google (GOOG) launched the Music Onebox — a special new music search product that lets users stream songs in their entirety for free. Thursday, Yahoo Video is answering by improving its music video search offering. When you search for a song or artists, Yahoo (YHOO) will extract music videos of the most popular songs and albums for that artists or band. It appears that most of the songs are pulled from YouTube, Last.fm and other music sites.

Ancestry.com's (ACOM) IPO is having a better debut than others recently, for a few main reasons:
1. The current owners are retaining a major stake in the company.
2. The valuation is very reasonable.
We've seen some pathetic IPO's recently. Notably have been the real estate "bank check" IPO's -->> basically raising money to buy up real estate assets they perceive to be cheap. These deals have done poorly because management has had little to no stake in the newly public company.
Ancestry.com (ACOM) shares priced this morning at $13.50 on their first day of trading. They traded as high as $15.50, and are now at $14.50, the high end of the expected offer range.
As I said, the current management will be heavily invested alongside those purchasing shares in the IPO. And most notably, the venture backers seem to be only selling a tenth of their position. VERY positive news. (Click to enlarge.)

Tonight, Google (GOOG) is making a huge play in retail space with the launch of Commerce Search, a hosted enterprise search product to power online retail stores and e-commerce websites.
