GOOG – Google (Last:550.34)

Those of you who were nimble and daring enough to have gotten off a short just above my 553.87 target last Friday should set a hair-trigger stop-loss, since GOOG looks like it’s a-comin’ to git ya. The stock could hit 568.18 on the next maniacal leap.  The sibling midpoint of that Hidden Pivot is 554.44, just beneath the 554.75 high. My hunch is that if the stock can better the pivot, the peak itself won’t put up much of a fight. ______ UPDATE: GOOG exploded for a quick $8 points, topping at 559.35 before detumescing on the stock market’s final-hour selloff.  If you were short coming in and dodged the bullet, treat yourself to a good cigar.
