Not sure if it will stay, but I just saw GOOG passed the 700 mark.  I wonder if their Halloween Google Doodle had anything to do with it...  Woo-hoo!

That's a climb of 100 points in less than a month.  How long 'till 1000?  Or the bust?

I am soooo tempted to short GOOG... but every time I think it can't possibly get more overpriced it proves me wrong...

Google has plenty of room left to go. Most likely 750 or so. Remember when they bought You Tube. Well You Tube is still in the top 5 of most visited websites on the net. So far Googles making no money off that. Thats soon to change. They are rolling out a adclick program for Youtube. They had to figure out how to place ads for videos that would match the content. Thats major major bucks.

In about 2 weeks according the news Google will be unvieling there mobile phone plans ... who they are going to be using as a carrier, and whos making the phone. Rumors are its Open Source, the platform will be open to developers. Kicker is free Cell Phone service, in exchange for advertising.

Google recently also lobbied the FCC rule that the next block of spectrum that is auctioned off not be carrier specific. Meaning that anyones phone must be able to work on that spectrum. The Telecoms tried hard to stop it but can't. Its a good idea. Google believes that no one should be locked into a spectrum via a carrier. It should all be open and whoever has the best service will succeed.

Anyhow bright days are still ahead for Google. 750 by middel to end of Jan!

Two stocks that are bad ju ju to short are Apple, and Google. They have for nearly 5 years now done nothing but go up and up and up. Buy some options in the money on them for next year and be happy.

beware of the technolog tickers until end of this year. going down very fast??

 

 

I just bought a few more shares recently near the 700 mark.  My average price is between 600 and 650.  It's somewhere on my ZeccoShare.  I think Google will go up.  I don't know over what time span but I'm going to stop checking prices so frequently.  Fundamentals or not, I'm confident in Larry and Sergey.  They're young, hungry and visionary.  MSFT is old news, all they focus on is protecting Windows and Office.  The search engine is vulnerable, but GOOG is diversifying into new lines of business which I hope they do okay in.  Just as MSFT once (and still) owns software, GOOG pretty much owns the internet I would say.

Well, there's your problem.  Google isn't overpriced at all.    No way I would short a stock that grows its earnings at about 40%

if i had an extra 700 i might just buy some goog, but wait, i dont

It is now the era of chinese tech stocks. Let see baidu, sohu or alibaba ...

Goog is good, but that is the story of the past. No one can say that Goog could double its profits as it did a few years ago, but you could expect this to happen to chinese tech companies.

Let see

Unless market sentiment changes, I think GOOG will hover around 700 +5%/-10%. I'll probably buy back in when it reaches below 650. If there's a rally, I can see it going from 700 to 750 in a hurry.

Same story with BIDU. I've been flipping it from 380-400 but since stopped becuase the Dow is reaching ever closer to breaking below 13k.

Just imagine if you had bought in last week when it went down to $525!

GOOG Hits 450 today.

Just think if you had shorted it at 556 just a few days ago!

Sell, it goes lower

Earnings out today. Its at 548 not 450???? Still to expensive for me, I cant afford one share.
