Anyone going to buy some Google stock before they report their earnings tomorrow? I'm thinking about it.... If the earnings are good then the stock will shoot up... if they aren't then it's a bust... I think it's a quick way to earn money... Tomorrow their stock will move a lot... whether it's up or down .... If you make millions don't forget who you heard this from...
Some think Yahoo's loss is Google's gain. I'm tempted to buy as well. But, I'm going to wait untill after the earnings to decide.
I wouldn't say never, MSN seems to be pushing to have all its main offerings in place prior to their launch of Vista, so things may change by virtue of their sheer market dominance (and the fact that a large number of people are lazy and won't change their search from default).
I think MSN could be the next "Pepsi", just always slightly behind Google ("Coke") Of course they have to beat out Yahoo, but their pockets deep are enough to do that in time.
I think it's a bad time to buy..I've been monitoring for a good 3 months ago..and that's when it was up..now it's just fluctuating all over the place..BAD TIME TO BUY.
Around 1999. people claimed that Internet Explorer will never be as popular as Netscape. Around 1980. people claimed that personal computers will never replace mainframes...
You like to invest in stocks that dont move? Looks like a reasonable investment to me. The price is sitting on the 200 day MA, and the trendlines. I think its good for a $20-30 run up in price.
Lot of good news is already priced into the Google stock anticipating strong results for this quarter. I think it will fall with the market in general for the next month or two. However, I do think Google will one day become half a trillion dollar company (market capitalisation). Its currently worth just over 100 million dollars. A fourfold increase should be expected for a company that is set to dominate the internet for the next decade or so.
GOOG is the master of their own demise. They are pretty smart - they will figure out a way to screw up that no one else has ever tried.
Google could be the next Alta Vista, people will use what their friends use. All it takes is someone to change search yet again and bye bye Google. People are fickle, and unlike a B&M business like WalMart.. people will have no problem going somewhere else when all it takes is the stroke of a keyboard. Unlike a Walmart that takes much more effort to avoid.
Or, you could break below the 200 DMA and be in for a $20-30 further drop in price. I do agree - it will be either or!
