OK - I see where Stock is at. He did have real money with many bets placed at the top and is now hanging by a thread with most or all his capital in GOOG. This perma-bull now HAS to cheerlead this stock and the market and the rally since it is his last remaining hope. I've said my piece, sometimes a bit strong - all in the hopes that ST learns from all this (not to be). So for now...I care more for the human and his life than the mindless banter about how it is possible for one to capitalize on a miracle. I wish him well with or without regaining $$$. Life is more important and I wish stock_trd3r a good one regardless. Paysense
People who think about google and 800 are the worst combination of trader and investing noobs possible. Generally speaking, technology companies DO NOT make good investments. Their business models are ever changing and cash flows could be erratic. There is no "moat" nor will there ever be. Google has been the darling (read HYPE) stock for several years. Propelled by momentum traders and idiots it got to 700s. It won't go to 800. Not this year not next year not year after that. It is hovering around 20 P/E which means it is priced reasonably NOW. It is not a bargain at 316 and change. You want it to more than double. Google collects most of its revenue from paid search placement. That market will not grow by leaps and bounds forever. On the technical side, you simply don't rocket back to greatness after a major collapse unless you are in a raging bull market. If you think google is going to be different you are kidding yourself. P.S According to bigcharts.com MSFT has a P/E of 11.38 and ORCL of 15.90. Why should any sane person pay a premium for GOOG earnings? Only because its followers expect it to give them the moon?
Don't you realize that option_trad3r is an over-the-top spoofer of stock_trad3r? You are responding to him like his posts are serious - he's mocking stock_trad3r. Don't you get it? The fact that folks can't tell the difference between stock_trad3r and someone who is purposefully trying to be ridiculous says a lot about how stupid stock_trad3r is.
The moderators(admin?) should attach a permanent label of "village idiot" to people like stock_trad3r.
It's a good thing he knows how the markets work, can you imagine how much he would lose(paper) if he didn't? lol
