Just buy Google and Apple. Those two just keep on rising. Apparently there are no possible risk to their continued growth. Forget Google now has market cap > 200 billion dollars. Google is going to be the first trillion dollar company.

It will have its reckoning day, but just like the .com bubble...who can afford to wait for i and short the stock?
.com bubble = company losing $100 million/year, 10000 PE ratio, 1000x PS ratio, no real income.
google = 55 PE, 34 forward PE, 14 PS. I wouldn't exactly call google a bubble and i would not short if i were you.
i was once in your camp, but i have accepted the fact that google's premium is it's global brand and human capital and the ability to enter a market with huge barriers to entry within a year and be competitive.

I had no idea they were making $4 billion a year already. :Q
Compared to multiples of other tech stocks, including yahoo's 60 p/e, and factor in google's growth possibilities/probabilities it actually sounds cheap relative to the rest of the market.

PEG ratio.
Google is a unique company and it has proven it, so a PEG ratio should have some bearing imo, but for most companies I would hardly get that far ahead of what a stock is worth at the moment or not too distant future because of all the company specific and market related variables that can happen over the course of time that can instantly throw future growth/acceleration numbers into complete disarray.
It may be a buzz phrase now but sounds more like a popular way to overhype stocks whose prices are currently on a hot streak, rather than a prudent way to gauge most stock valuations.
