GOOG is at $286, almost 200% up since it went public. As hard as I look I fail to see any justifications for that kind of increase. I'm afraid a lot of people will lose a lot of money on that stock.

compare with yhoo then you'll know.
goog is trading at about 44 it's forward p/e.
yhoo if trading at about 53 it's forwrad p/e.
goog may blow pass estimate again thus making its fpe much favorable compared to yhoo.

goog also doesn't have a lot of floating shares, most people are holding on to theirs.
a split will come for sure and will push price even higher.
the question now is, are they going to do a 3-1 or 4-1 split and when?

Google is a very good company. No doubt.

But its P/E is too high.

Microsoft and Yahoo will be rolling out very competitive next generation search services. This will have a HUGE impact on Google's future earnings.

The stock float is thin and any bad news can send the stock hurdling towards planet Earth. If you got in with GOOG at the onset then good for you. Enjoy it.....and sell it before the inevitable sh1T hits the fan.

It's all a matter of gravity. ;)

Yeah it's utter nonsense. No way google should be worth that. Some apparently haven't learned their lesson from 2000, so they'll need a refresher.

I guess if I had total confidence on this, I'd short it, but the stock market is a big mess. I'm just guessing that it's got to tumble some time.

I had one for my sexbox. It wasn't bad!

u guys should look into lockheed martin. They produce almost anything the military needs, and are doing very well. AMD is doing well also, even when intel has new products, AMD's stocks still go up.

I have two of them for my Gamecube. One is already dead and really the only thing we use our GC for is playing Mario Party when we have another couple over. It's pretty crappy. But the stock was undervalued so I jumped on it. If it would drop down below 1.25 I might buy back in if I can scrounge a couple thousand together.


In regards to GOOG their P/E ratio is crazy. It's '99/00 all over again.

I've been meaning to look into Lockheed.

War is good for them!

Google is an investmentt for morons.

It went up initially because of all the cash they had after IPO. It was litterally worth more.

But it's current quote is rediculous. Morons iwll loose on it. How quickly we for get the past......

And, FYI: All web pages are overvalued. yahoo, EBay, Goog, etc. The P/Es are not justiified in a single case. Classic valuation will win in the long term and crush share prices and the emotions of the speculators that bought in.
