Google & Broadcom Beat, Sandisk Misses

Plenty of action the past couple of days. How about the one day $2 drop in the price of silver. I would give the metals one more down day and then I would begin buying. My favorite names that I don't own are: (FCX), (GG), (GOLD), (FRG), & (NXG).
I am long (SLW) & (BGO).

CEO Schmidt comments, "We are driving this growth through investments in our infrastructure and our people, product innovations that attract new users, and relationships with advertisers and partners around the world.

Broadcom(BRCM) 46.25
+0.48
(+1.05%) Broadcom reported Q1 (Mar) pro forma earnings of $0.36 per share, which includes non-recurring charges and gains that analysts' excluded from their estimates as well as stock based comp expense that analysts were including in their estimates. After adding back in the stock-based compensation expense, BRCM reported earnings of approximately $0.22 per share, but it's not clear if that is comparable to the Reuters Estimates consensus of $0.19. Total revenues rose 63.6% year/year to $900.6 mln (consensus $870.7 mln). Looking ahead, BRCM sees Q2 revenues up 3-5% sequentially, or roughly $928-946 mln (consensus $906.0 mln).

+0.35
(+0.83%) NDAQ reported Q1 (Mar) earnings of $0.16 per share, which includes $13.6 mln in expenses and may not be comparable to the Reuters Estimates consensus of $0.11.

To primarily pay down debt incurred to purchase the strategic stake in the London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ intends to proceed with a common stock offering.
