SO, Where does Mr.Google live? . I want to give him some authentic Michigan BBQ in exchange of a very small portion of the revenue
That's exactly my point. If it were that easy, Google would've already taken over the world. There are consequences to performing secondaries and that's dilution.
Remember, Google doesn't even come close to the big financial leader companies in the World, not in Market Value, nor in profits.
Just an additional note on my last comment, Google is ranked at #289 in Forbes Global 2000. Makes you think!
Its because of us(webmasters) that they are earning huge profits.. And they are targetting us only ( recent Paid links bombardment )
These guys are doing everything right. They have a great corporate philosophy, hire the best people, try a lot of things, fail fast, keep the eye on the ball. I don't see their revenue doing anything but growing in the next few quarters.
The stock opened up above $490, but closed near $480. Looks like the market is not responding much to it.
Not really, there always seems to be ways to finance these things if they really wanted to go after them. Of course, it will mean issuing a lot more shares thus diulting the value of existing shareholders.
