670 Reasons that Google Is Not a Buy Yet

Many analysts have been upgrading Google, $GOOG, and raising there price targets to the mid 700’s and more. Back on January 11th I also put out the possibility of Google going to 1,000 based on a technical study. But it did not achieve it (link below). It has had a nice run higher but from the current price action it still has some work to do at these levels before it is a buy again. Take a look.
