GOOG is a sucker stock. You all should take 10% of whatever you are going to invest in GOOG and just give it to charity - You're going to lose it anyway.
Excellent call and timing and humility to boot! Buy up RIMM and GOOG, mental recession, web 2.0 is the future...
GOOG and AAPL and IBM all crush the estimates this mental recession is so painful..for the love of god make it stop. No credit. no liquidity. pleeaaase help me. I have no credit. this fake crisis is so painful. goog surging in AH (up $12 so far. not exactly surging, but better than being down, and there is room for a run to 330 on a good CC) The CEO is always so upbeat. Me no recession? Me worry?
Don't start celebrating just yet.. Last time I checked employee stock option expenses are an ACTUAL expense. $1 bil a quarter?? GOOG is the biggest ponzi scheme of them all.... Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) reported fourth-quarter net income of $382 million, down 68% from $1.2 billion a year ago. However, excluding certain charges, such as the cost of employee stock options, the company earned $5.10 a share, much better than consensus estimates of $4.95 per share.
