If you suddenly came into alot of money, would you invest in Google stock?

I would totally invest in google there always coming up with new ideas, google mail,google earth,google maps,froogle

 

no way i would invest in google i would better buy some apartments houses (if big money) and rent to people who need a rent in my town the rent in this town is like 200 euros/month

And this kind of investments are for long time as an example soem years ago i bought an apartment for 5000$ and now that apartment i could sell it for like 45000 euros

 

If you had purchased G shares only 4 days ago (Monday 1/14/08) you would have paid about $655 a share.

Today it closed at $597 a share. So in 4 days you would have lost 8.85% of your investment. If you started with $20k on Monday, today you would have $18.2k, a loss of $1.8k.

Does G sounds like a great investment now?

In my view, G is way oversold and speculation accounts for at least 25% of it's current share price. Right now, the economy is sluggish and a potential recession is looming. If we continue to move in that direction, business will slash budgets. Advertising is one of the first to go. So, they spend less on AdWords which will effect G profits substantially.

Most analysts are predicting lower markets for the next six months. During that time, there may be big days to the upside, and G will go along for the ride probably hitting the $650 mark again. If it did, my strategy would be to short the stock at $650 and make my money when it falls back under $600.

But selling short is not for the inexperienced. If you lack experience, I'd probably sit the next few months out until the direction of the economy becomes clearer.

In uncertain times, you see a lot of volatility (big swings). You can make or lose a lot of money in a single day. If you can't afford to lose it, or if you don't have the stomach for it, I'd suggest you sit out.

Its overpriced atm IMO

 

I'm picking up Google shares under $600/share. With a forward P/E of less than 30, 45% annual earnings growth, $13 Billion in the bank and no debt, it is a steal.

 

i would invest in my own business that would make me value at least 1% from Google a couple of years later.

 

no i wont
i`l invest in reliance shares

 

relaince posted below expectation results this quarter though i hope they word be up again in the next one.
i would go for reliance and some media company like balaji tele.

 

Overvalued. SHould be at $450 a share
And becuase I only have $460 dollars

 

No I'd invest in being the next WiMax (wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX) provider to the world!

 

nope. I stay away from tech stocks. I am more towards high dividend low pe natural resource based companies.

 

I'd go for investment funds on emergent markets China, Russia, Malaysia, India plus some funds related to energy. I saw some that can give you 53% per year.
I still think Google will face antitrust axe sooner or later.

 

Yes I would invest... Google is investing into lots of things..

 

....lol.....

 

Google is so innovative.......it's very possible that their share price could be undervalued at it's current price......

 

That would be probably the smartest thing to do right now...

 

Smartest thing? Investing in Google, or NOT investing in Google?

 

yeah i also will be scared to invest in Google cos i fear google gives so much it may decide one day to take some as well
uuuuhhhhhhh

 

I think property letting was the best idea. longcall911 also made a very good post. Read it, this guy makes a lot of sense

 

yea.. they are spending lots of money buying over websites.. youtube is an example.. they are slowly building a empire of their own..
