For fun I decided to ask you (my readers) what you think Google’s Q2 earnings will be. The Wall street consensus estimate is Google will earn $5.08 a share. They report earnings after the bell on Thursday July 16, 2009. Simply answer: beat or miss, your per share estimate, and any other comments (maybe why you believe this) in the comment section to this post. I am giving away a small prize for the winner. I will send the person with the closest guess to Google’s actual earnings, a Merrill Lynch Squeeze Bull AKA “Stress Bull”. No I have not taken my aggressions out on this bull, it’s brand new. If 5 people have the same earnings estimate, and it happens to be the closest to their actual earnings, I guess I’ll be sending out 5 Merrill Lynch Squeeze Bulls… To see if you’ve won the contest, remember you’re guess and check back. Create a Google account, use your open ID, or email me right after you guess with your info (I will not use your email address for any other reasons) so I can get in touch with you on where to send the squeeze bull. Get your estimate in before the bell Thursday. Like I said it’s just for fun and want to hear your ideas. I estimate Google will beat earnings and report $5.28 a share.
