Hudson Square Research has a buy rating on Google,with a price target of 750 dollars.Google has a very strong core business,says Rory Maher of Hudson Square-plus mobile and display assets.They have a lot of cash to buy fast-growing Inet companies.
Mobile search is starting to boost Google's sales.Hudson Square is excited about Google's Android operating system.They think it's gonna gain a majority share in mobile search.
Yahoo also has a buy rating.Hudson Square is pretty bullish on Inet media overall.Yahoo owns a bunch of ecommerce companies in China that are about to be profitable.Hudson Square is also pretty excited about Yahoo as a stand-alone company,and is pretty confident in the shift of traditional ad dollars to online,which will benefit both Google and Yahoo.
The biggest risk for both is Facebook stealing ad dollars.All will benefit from the shift to online;it's a question of who steals ad dollars from within the sector,Rory Maher believes.
Hudson Square Research is an institutional equity research boutique focused on the tech,media,telecom and consumer sectors.They provide institutional investors with fundamnetal equity research to assess valuation,risk and opportunity.

Citigroup Gauges 2011 Market Risks
Some observers are totally bullish on the new year,but Tobias Levkovich,Chief U.S. Equity Strategist at Citigroup,recalls that we still have geopolitical risk to consider.In addition,we haven't really talked a lot about gasoline prices,which have been climbing markedly lately.
Political heat will occur in the latter part of 2011,as primary election issues come into focus.At that juncture,a separation of the parties will take place.People want something done in Washington,but at some point the paths totally diverge.
Health care will be going on for a couple of years in the courts.The funding of it will be an interesting battle to see,but commodity prices will be much more interesting to the markets.
Profit margins are not being paid attention to.Around mid-year,that could be an issue.Wage creep that pressures the margins could be a big issue.We're looking at the S&P 500 reaching a level of 1400 in 2011.We think the beginning of the year will be relatively strong;then there will be a pullback on some of these margin issues.
We review our targets in December.What drove the markets in December were the tax cut extension and payroll tax deduction,Mr.Levkovich said.A Canadian citizen who frequently appears on business television,he writes a report card on his own performance every year.
