Here at The Motley Fool, we talk about "buying on the dip" when we see companies we like but would prefer to see a pull-back before we buy in. In the following video, Fool contributor Matt Thalman discusses a few recent opportunities in which investors could have bought into a few different blue-chip stocks had they been following the market and noticed the opportunity. The old saying that you should buy low and sell high may be easier said than done, though, as a lot of investors lack the patience and discipline to wait for good buying opportunities, and some opportunities can simply be overlooked. With the speed at which a few recent shares came back after falling, it's easy to see why although dips do occur, the average investor may miss them.
The price of becoming the world's greatest investor is that Warren Buffett can no longer make many of types of investments that made him rich in the first place. Find out about one such opportunity in "The Stock Buffett Wishes He Could Buy." The free report details a sector of the economy Buffett's heavily invested in right now and exactly why he can't buy one attractive company in that sector. Click here to keep reading.�

Advisors' Opinion:- [By David Eller]
With Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) being the king of search, we wanted to start there. Google still has approximately 67% of the online search market. In the past this had been more than 70%, but its dominance is still very much present. What is transforming Google is its Android operating system for smartphones and tablets, and now for little netbooks, on the heels of its Motorola buyout. Google shares bounced handily after a disappointing earnings report and fears about the online ad market, even after the mobile ad cannibalization, have so far been seriously overblown. Shares are now near a 52-week high again, and Wall St. remains very favorable, even with leadership questions being present.
Google shares trade around $735, with a $214 billion market cap and with a 52-week trading range of $556.62 to $774.38. Analysts have a consensus value of just over $800.00, for upside of only about 9%. Google trades at close to 16-times its expected 2013 earnings.
- [By Holly LaFon] Google Inc. is the search engine company founded in 1998 that has expanded to offer dozens of advertising and web services. Since going public in 2004, its stock has increased 485% to $633.98 per share on Monday. It has never had a stock split or paid a dividend.
Google has also grown rapidly. Its revenue per share over the last 10 years has increased at an annual rate of 52.3%, EBITDA at 51.9%, free cash flow at 64.8% and book value at 74.8%.Its P/E ratio is 20.
The company is also launching its 7-inch Nexus table in May to compete with Apple�� iPad and Amazon�� Kind Fire and is in the process of the biggest revamp of its Internet search formula in company history.
Google has an expressed long-term focus in its business, rather than quarter-to-quarter goals, as stated in its IPO letter which quotes Warren Buffett. The company�� higher stock price may help discourage frequent trading and encourage high-quality shareholders, as Buffett has mentioned in the past.
