No but I wish I did.
I wonder if Google is going to be like that one Unix company. It started off strong then hit rock bottom. I think it traded for ~$200+ but in a year or two it was worth like $2.

Not bad. Anyone buying the stock took a huge risk, but it paid off this time.
I prefer to save myself stress and effort, and bet on 500 different stocks at once buying S&P 500 mutual fund shares like Vanguard.com's VFINX. I'd rather get a steady 8-10% return with almost zero risk than put it all on black for double or nothing.

This might be a dumb question but, how much did you pay to get them?

Initial Public Offering price was $80-90 if I recall correctly, so FoBoT spent at least $4 million when he phoned in the order from his yacht while Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan were rubbing sunscreen on his back.
Then he woke up.
jim cramer hhyped this on his show last night
difference is google is making money, a lot of it. He said Yahoo and Ebay are at 53 P/E ratio
Right now Google is predicted to make $5 a share for 2005. At 53 PE that is $265 a share.
With yesterday's earnings he thinks it may make $6 a share. That is $318 per share.
Unlike Amazon going to $400, this is based on real math.

Be careful though, it's still a high-risk investment. Ad revenue is doing well, but some of the money is from scams (free ipod, bot clicks, surfscammy) and from high keyword rates that could collapse if buyers aren't getting enough return from the clicks.

Heh, but I'm buying for the long term, and I've made well over 10% annual growth buying in the post-bubble years. Even the shares I bought last August are up around 10%.
The dip this spring is just a good time to buy, not a disappointment to me 🙂
they have a lot of good ideas, and I imagine they have some secret plan to make money off it.
they used to be just a search engine. Now they have email and they are expanding into other search categories like indexing entire libraries. I read somewhere that the theory is that Google wants to be an online service that does everything for someone. Almost like Larry Ellison dreamed in the 1990's and what MS tried to do with passport. Only people have no second thoughts having a google account for everything.
