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

Perhaps Google's days of incredible company/stock growth has surpassed, but, I think many still believe there is incredible upside potential in Google (the company)......

If you suddenly came into alot of money.....perhaps, Adsense really started working out for you, or a rich relative left you the majority of their inheritance.................would you invest in Google stock?

.......if not......name some alternatives......

Just thought this could turn out to be an interesting thread. What does everyone think of Google's potential for future growth?

 

Yes I would definitely invest in them. Google seems to be getting into all sort of business ventures these days like alternative energy.

 

yep i sure would..

 

Anyone else?

 

wouldn't it cost $500 per share now adays?

I'd invest strate into apple as you get free stuff

 

I'd be putting new money into RF Micro Devices right now... not Google.

 

No, it's like $650 per share.

 

Yes but I would invest part of my money in Apple

 

I think it's better to invest in AMD stock right now.
It's rather cheap.

 

i would not ivest in google as the share price is too high

 

Share price has absolutely nothing to do with a company's valuation. The Google share price is so high because they have not split their stock.

Berkshire Hathaway stock was considered a bargain at $100,000 per share.

 

$650 per share is good. Even if you buy 100 of them for $65,000 and they go up by $50 each then thats $5000 doing nothing, but the more you invest the bigger the risk and the more you could gain.

 

I would more likely invest in Apple, as I see them merging with Google one day.

 

Google just seems like it STILL has so much potential......

 

Depending on what your time horizon is it maybe better to wait a couple months before buying google stock.

 

I wouldn't invest in GOOG stock. Eventually after sub prime the stock would be devaluated at $350-400

 

how many of you out there were lucky enough to get into GOOGLE back in it's prime?

 

I would invest in them, I hear they are going to be implementing several new features and such. they are always thinking of something new. I might wait, but not too sure.

 

The fact is that Google is trading at a Price/Earnings ratio of 44. That's pretty inflated, which means that a lot the driving force behind the stock price is market psychology about the company, not fundamental financial performance. That's not to say Google isn't a strong company or isn't going to continue to roll out major new juice, but it's to say right now today it's probably overvalued based on tried-and-true financial indicators. I wouldn't invest in google with my money because of this apparent over-valuation, but i could be made to look like a fool if market hype keeps taking google to the moon....

I like that AMD call up there though.

 

yes, I would
