Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)

Yes, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) stock has been on a tear recently — up 50% in the past year.  And, yes, shares are now trading hands for more richly valued 26 times earnings.  But I simply think Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)’s best days are still ahead of it.

Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)’s leadership and culture of innovation are factors that can’t really be quantified. The company’s “20% time,” which allows employees to spend a fifth of their working hours on independent projects, has yielded amazing results, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

With global Internet usage continuing to rise, a dominant market share, an Android system that’s on fire, and several periphery revenue channels coming online (e.g., YouTube), Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) stock is a good buy for long-term, buy-to-hold investors.
