Have $1500 to blow on stocks...

[z0mb13]

ok I wanna go get some google stocks when they go public, should I open a trading account? which one?? etrade??

I personally wouldn't buy any stock of a search engine...I'm not sure how profitable they'll be if they're public...

But then again I see all this hype and everyone wanting it so it's going to go up at the beginning...then after that we'll see.

Search engines are where the money is at right now. Companies are paying a lot to be first on all of the serach engines. Google also hosts adds, now, and gets sales % for referal. They are also aquiring internet usage data, which they will be able to do what they will with, whenever they want to.

Where's their revenue growth at? I'd like to see profits and growth before investing... they're profitable now, but by how much and where is their future revenue going to come from?
