What A Difference A Year Makes For Apple And Google

Year to date, Google is up 14 percent, and Apple is down 14 percent.

A year ago, the roles were reversed. Google was fading, and Apple was soaring.

This year, investors have lost faith in Apple's ability to deliver strong growth. They believe Apple's iPhone business as presently constituted will stall. They also believe that its margins are going to get crushed

Google, on the other hand, appears primed to own the future of technology. Its Android operating system dominates iOS in market share. Its search business appears invincible. YouTube is the biggest web video site in the world.

It's testing new technology like self-driving cars and wearable computers with Google Glass.
