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

The quickest way to double your money might be PTSC at 0.40 in 2008. Here is why, PTSC owns the patent on every microprocessor sold in the market, they have settled lawsuits aganist Intel, AMD, Toshiba, Sony, Pansonic, etc all these micochip companies have to pay a royality or licensing fee to this small company, the products from remote control to Pentiums.

 

Never put all your eggs in one google basket.

I would build a portfolio of tech, energy, and anything related to greening the world.

I invest in products I see placed in best selling movies and do quite well in that regard.

 

I wouldnt

 

PTSC went from 0.05 to $2.20 on a settlement news with Intel in early 2006 in a matter of weeks. Well, I was right on it before the settlement

My analysis and comment on PTSC back in 2005 right before its settlement (I am Go_Stocks):

Of course, I have helped several made MILLIONs, I am serious, have thank you posts over there too.

Then it dragged down on J3 lawsuits - Sony/Toshiba/Pansonic for a year. Early last month, these J3 also settled with PTSC, they are paying PTSC too. This stock is now sitting at 50 period monthly moving average, it should have a great chance to back over $1s in the months ahead on earnings.

 

I won'g buy Garmen ot Tom Tom, if I buy, I would buy the chip company POWERED both. Guess which one?

SIRF!

 

It depends how big the money I came into was, if it was something like $500,000 I would say no, I would invest it into smaller business I felt had potential, and save some for myself, $500,000 is not a lot of money when you take the rest of your life into consideration. If it was in the millions, then maybe, I might just invest a small amount to see what I could do with it.

I think spending less and investing small amounts in up and coming business can benefit you more than just spending a lot of money on one company's shares, because if those shares drop you've lost a lot of money, but having money here, there and everywhere means you can have more control over your shares.

 

I would definitely take some risk in investing in google stock at this level. More people are of the opinion that google stock value will continue to appreciate

 

Hehehe, no regrets, unlimited opportunites if you keep looking. Even if you have made millions, you could lose it all on one bad decision or gambling on one thing "SURE" thing or all in one basket, myself is an example

 

lol....true....

but, I'm not talking about having tons and tons of extra cash floating around......maybe only something like $20,000-$50,000.......to most, that would be substantial....to others it would be a little.....but, no matter what your position, that is still a decent amount to put forth as an investment in anything.....

 

That's exactly right. If you traded pennies, you know there are many good chances to make a million or lost them all At least, in my life, I had the thrill to enjoy such a ride - even briefly, still a nice memory. What about turn $4K into $44 million in a few months, at least look good on paper for a while

 

Back in my younger days, I was a gambling man.....poured about $15,000....most of my lifesavings....into one penny stock.......i was able to flip it for $85,000......

But, I would definitely NOT recommend doing that.....lol.....

 

I wouldn't buy Google stock because I think it is still over-inflated at its current P/E. Instead, I would place half of the money in bonds (stable earnings at about 7% with no loss potential) and with the other half invest in smaller companies that cut recent deals with giants like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. Recently, Google invested in a company that developed a revolutionary process for creating solar panels. A part for the panel was only manufactured by a small, publicly traded company in Toronto, which saw its stock rise from under $1 to $20. That kind of growth cannot be found in buying shares of companies that have already matured in their growth.

 

There is always a David around the corner and I think Golieth is past his prime ... so no. I would find some other innovative up and coming company

 

What stocks would you all invest in as an alternative to Google stock?

 

I'm another example. I knew exactly what risk I was taking, but traded naked calls on SINA, SOHU, & NTES for 7 months. I turned $20k into $112k in that time, winning on some trades and losing on others.

In the end, I decided to ride through earnings statements. SINA reported and all 3 went a little higher. SOHO reported and again all 3 inched up. At the time (2003) NTES was a sure thing compared to the other two. Well NTES reported lower profit from SMS texting and the bottom fell out of all 3.

By the time I could sell, my $112k was worth $50k.

So I agree, there's no such thing as a sure thing. It's all risk, just a matter of how much.
