Google missed 4th quarter net earnings forecasts by a wide margin in January, the company's 1st earnings disappointment since its first IPO almost two years ago. Google blamed all of that on a higher tax rate that really surprised every analyst on the Street. Adding fuel to the fire, in March of this year, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing with the SEC that it mistakenly put up slides detailing out-of-date financial targets during its analyst day Web cast!

In addition to all of this, some investors are worried about whether increased competition from Yahoo, Microsoft (MSN) and Ask.com could seriously harm Google's growth prospects. On May 24, Yahoo announced a broader alliance with Internet auction provider eBay, an initiative that many industry observers interpreted as a way for both companies to more effectively fight Google. Also, some people think the company needs to do more to diversify beyond its search-based advertising roots in order to avoid what some have termed it a "one-trick pony".
