The Dow, Year to Date: The Boeing Company (BA) and More

The relationship between Google and HP doesn’t look as though it will end with the Chromebook, either, as HP has plans for an Android tablet and possibly a smartphone. As HP moves more into the Google-Android world, the company should find more opportunities in the future.

I’m still not convinced that HP is on the right track, but the stock clearly has support from Wall Street and enough momentum to keep pushing the stock higher in 2013. For now, I’ll gladly sit on the sidelines and watch the PC manufacturers fight for market share with their nearly identical products. Sure, HP may be on to something here, and if Google ever produces a PC operating system comparable to a Windows product, that may be enough to lure consumers back to HP.
