Last week, the equity markets took a hard blow and it would appear that this trading week has begun without a clear direction. The Dow Jones (DJ30) fell 17.11 points (-0.14%), while the S&P500 and NASDAQ indices rose 0.01% and 0.46%, respectively.

Today, Google (GOOG) completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility, which granted them some patent protection, adding the patent infringement case they won against Oracle (ORCL); it means that Google can go on innovating on its Android platform without fear that injunctions will prevent it from moving forward. The news gave a boost to the stock price which rose to an intraday a high at $580.39, before falling and trading around $573.85 (0.45%).
