Gasoline Demand -- Lookin' Good -- October 26, 2017

Google: huge report; jumps 4% after hours, after earnings reported; back above $1,000/share; and CNBC quickly finds things to worry about with regard to Google; EPS $9.57/share; vs $7.25/share a year earlier. Huge. Revenue at $27.77 compared to $22.45 a year earlier.

Amazon: revenue higher than expected; growth huge year-over-year; 52 cents; huge beat on the bottom line. CNBC completely surprised; now CNBC now trying to explain it; "not a managed numbers; a real number"; now trading above $1,000/share again; some talking head thinks it might be due to Whole Foods acquisition; I doubt it; if anything Whole Foods would be a drag; another analyst suggests the Amazon numbers are "awesome";
