Looking at the stock chart for Google's stock, I notice that $774.38 is the highest price it has reached in the past seven year. So the $745 price target you have in mind might be a reasonable price to sell. And also, since June of this year, when the stock hit rock bottom for the year, it has risen 24%. So, the stock has had a really nice run.

However, the company is experiencing a high level of growth and most likely will surpass its recent high of $774.38 by maybe sometime next year. Why would you want to sell at $745?

In addition to the various steams that Google is expanding into, it seems to be taking on Amazon and gaining market share in the cloud space.

I kind of agree with Jason who said below that "Overall market is overbought and overpriced. Google is a momo stock that will get hit harder than most. I see downside on Google to $550, and very little upside to $700".

However, I disagree with Jason that the stock might fall to $550. I think that is a big stretch. The company looks good from a valuations and fundamental perspective. However, I see it being impacted by the dynamics of the overall market .

I would say now would be the time to sell Google as I don't see it going up (anytime soon) to the $745 target you have in mind.

"Just the facts, Ma. Just the facts". Google's core advertising business did not come well below expectations. It came just slightly below expectations. Let's say it as it is, not how we want it to be!
