I really wish I would have got on it at $250, but I thought it would top out and decline. Oh well. I'll just pay off my student loans through other means...

In less than three months, from $747.24 to $457.02. Talk about killing your Market Capitalization.

Not only did you bump this thread with a worthless post, but you were the last poster in it and at that time were 11 days late to the party.

Impressive.

Although it sucks to be a Google employee who got hired this year since your stock option is worthless now.

I don't see why anyone would want to invest in such a speculative stock.
Whether at $700 or $350 it's still overpriced.

You're better off investing in a company like HPQ.

According to an article in BusinessWeek, 6% of surfers click 50% of google ads and most make less than 40k and account for 15% of internet shopping. More OUCH.

Thanks everyone for your support. Now that we've all made lots of money, its time to issue a SELL advisory. Liquidate at once, cease all usage of Google products, and begin dissemination of all previously discussed and approved nasty rumors regarding Google Inc.

Begin immediately.

At this time I'd also like to issue a BUY advisory for Yahoo! Let's see if we can get this one over $700 as well.

Thank you once again for your continued patronage. :p

Damn, that's pretty spot on. YHOO has been peaking, GOOG is going down faster than the Titanic.

Lol...What exactly looks "nice" about the stock?

Please do tell.

You realize that post is months old right?

What difference would it make if it's 4 months old or not? :confused:
I don't believe VMWare's business model or product line hasn't changed in the past 4 months.
If something important we don't know about has changed besides the stock price, please do tell.

I want to know what he saw(or was looking at) when he said it's a "nice" stock.
Does he still think that or did he change his mind?
Is he one of those who says a stock is nice only because it's increasing by 50-100% every year?

That's what I want to know.
