google. and there are u.s. tech companies lining up behind the e.u. microsoft is one of him. having been forced by the e.u., unbundling the explorer browser and competing browsers, to see google's chrome overtake explorer and grow into the market leader, microsoft wants the e.u. to turn its approach onto google. a leading german voice in the break is c.e.o. of publishing quipt axel springer, owning build, the biggest european tabloid number of an open letter to google's chairman eric shsubmit he wrote: >> he wrote the letter eight months ago, the e.u. parliament passed the resolution last week. >> i would say the open letter was a key trigger for europe. following the letter, it enabled a lot of people thinking the same who weren't brave enough to express it. they were fearing retaliation from google. >> one must remember that axel springer is in a position where it came from being a powerful media giant. it is the publisher of built and devote, and is upset that google has the power and axel springer has less of it. the solutions that axel springer are calling for are not nec

pretend i'm a holder on google and say, what gives with google? why is the market going higher and not my stock? >> three issues. ad dollars are flowing out of google into other apps and web sites. secondly, concerns about the european commission potentially firing an antitrust suit against google and seeing what happened to microsoft when that happened and lastly, google doesn't have strength in social and realtime communications. the concern is that there's google getting hit from one of these three factors. >> are those three concerns not valid? >> we ran a search conference not too long ago and talked to a lot of agencies and advertisers. they're staying with google, not moving elsewhere. people are pulling budgets from other sources. secondly, the antitrust thing could be an issue. it's still early, the u.s. tried to build a very big case against google. it came out to be nothing. we think google will probably offer a lot more concessions. and then finally, you know, on the social side, i think that isn't an issue and that's a concern, but it

on google.out it besides the fact that valuations make it cheaper than facebook, twitter and other big technology names? apple. >> i know this is an unlikely scenario but let's just pretend we can only buy one tech stock for a decade, it has to be google. think about all the other companies that consider it a number one competitor of different reasons. you have apple, amazon, facebook, microsoft, even yahoo!. the reason i like it from a long-term mega cap play in tech is because you get a dominant player in search but you also get exposure to all these super compelling long-term technology trends from self driving cars to even nanotechnology to robotics. you name it. the list goes on and we know there's other things that google's working on. >> we don't know what we don't know at this point on google. right? eric, why don't you like this stock here? >> well, you know, many of the thing that is he is talking about is speculative. in tech, ten years is like 100 years. and so, the concern that i ha

the net result is no one was abusing it. google was not paying anything, because they said they did not want to use it, it was more important get the traffic. there's no way to google to opt in or out publishers. they don't make money on google news, there's no reason to pay anyone. >> an american who illegally made his way into north korea is slamming the u.s. on tv there. i would like to offer apologise for viting laws and -- violating laws and boundaries, by illegally entering. >> 29-year-old ar truro from texas said he entered the country through china to convey information saying the u.s. was guilty of human rights violations, trying to dominate other countries. his mother said he tried to enter north korea previously and was deported and spent time in a psychiatric hospital. he apparently went willingly to north korea and is not being detained. coming up, two years after a newtown tragedy we look at a connection between mental health and gun violence. >> in italy, one group is accused of doing business outside of rome's city

when we do evaluate google one thing we keep in mind is at the end of the day this is still google. are doing on the health care front is quite fascinating. the core of our call is about the core assets, the trend in the assets, the trend in industry over the next 12 months and which platforms are positioned to benefit from the trends and pick up relative share. we believe it to be competing platforms. >> can you dig in on the health care side? we don't talk about health care and google much. >> that is a passion of the leadership of google and one of the areas with the nano particles that they are working on. really health care is an area they are working on. the core of our call boils down to core assets. we see three overarching themes that can help benefit competing players more so than google. >> you are neutral on google. what about the charts? >> the stock is obviously under pourfirmed. i believe it is down close to 6% year to date so has under performed. i think it might start to appeal to people seeking out oversold buying opportunities. not only has it oversold but has supp
