If this shit doesn't smack of bubble, I don't know what would qualify: http://www.forbes.com/2006/01/04/google-microsoft-0104markets04.html?partner=yahootix I think GOOG is am amazing company and wouldn't consider shorting it, but this is the most absurd research rec I've ever seen; including that inane crap spewed by Blodgett. The guy should be flogged. I'm embarrassed to have any relationship wth BSC.
Sold 40d/contract in the Feb 430 straddle at $51.70 and 41% vols. It's as short as I'll get in this stock.
I almost feel sorry for the management, because they constantly have to communicate the impression that they actually have a grand strategy for this company. Hey, they went public at ~100$. I bet the two founders themselves are scared by the momentum and expectations this stock has generated...
3 gaps and a crap..........I have not played this since the first round of earnings. I have very little pain or joy from the stock......but I bought puts at 450 50 times for the February sell off. Who is left to buy after all this hype. If this is not blow off action than the Pope is not fucking christian. To hell with all the greedy long share holders. Sorry about the harshness but this is a joke. Bull and bears make money...pigs get slaughtered.
http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=884358&highlight=brin#post884358 Brin supposedly owned only 49,000 shares according to the SEC document provided by an ET poster a few months ago. See above link. Who can reconcile this 86k sale with the 49k position provided in the post? The past thread states he had no more options to exercise. Was he issued more options, or was the information wrong at specific point in previous posts?
