The End of Google's Upside?

The following video is from Wednesday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and analysts Jason Moser and Matt Argersinger dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.

Shares of Google hit an all-time high on Wednesday. The tech giant now has a market cap of around $300 billion, trailing only Apple and ExxonMobil. Google CEO Larry Page has presided over the stock's recent run-up, and on Tuesday, he disclosed that he's been diagnosed with vocal-cord paralysis. Page says the condition has weakened his voice but has not affected his day-to-day management of the company. In this installment of Investor Beat, our analysts discuss this story, as well as take a look at four of the biggest movers on Wednesday's market, and two stocks they'll be watching very closely this week.

However, like many other Web companies, it's also struggling to adapt to an increasingly mobile world. Despite gaining an enviable lead with its Android operating system, the market isn't sold. That's why it's more important than ever to understand each piece of Google's sprawling empire.
