The lunatics were out in force after the close on Thursday, trying frantically to read meaning into the $4.07 billion earnings Google just announced for the second quarter. This beat analysts expectations by a hair, and the company called it a “very good quarter.”  However, traders were reluctant as always to act as though any such pronouncement could be taken at face value, and as a result, the stock was gyrating wildly early Thursday evening. It is trading at an indicated 427.41 at the moment, but we’ll go out on a limb with a prediction of 453.32 before buyers are spent for the near term.
