        I decided to invest the first time I heard the rumor about their stocks. Good as gold.

            Something to think about for sure. I am interested in what the big players think (6-7 figures+ in the market).

                I really wish I hadn't already invest my nest egg recently. I think this will end up like Yahoo. The price will keep going up and up for the first 6 months or so until it becomes over-inflated and then will drop rapidly to about half of its peak. The trick it to hold onto it until the peak and then sell sell sell. Then buy it back when it his it's lowest point and hold onto it for a few years.

                    True but sometimes the initial public offerings only shoot up for a day or 2 then take a dive. All it takes is one piece of negative news. I found that out with Leap Frog a few years back. In the long term it all seems to work out well though. This could be a good investment.

                      One piece of negative news isn't going to hurt a brand this big or a company this big.

                      Eventually either Google will buy out a major media outlet (think AOL/Time Warner) or a major media outlet will buy Google.

                          Would absolutely love to get in on this IPO -- only problem is, it's near impossible for the small guy that's looking to invest a few grand to get any shares at the IPO price.

                          You certainly can't get the shares with most online accounts (Ameritrade, E-trade, etc..). This has almost always been the case with big IPO's -- the shares are reserved for major clients, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies, etc..

                          I imagine it's not completely impossible to acquire shares, but just not through conventional means. Anybody have any info on sources?

                            When Ebay went public, they e-mailed all their members and offered to let them buy stock first. I think it was like $22 a share but I don't really remember...it was cheap.

                                I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!!!

                                Google has a severe relavency problem and that's why Yahoo dumped them.

                                After getting dumped they now need investment capitol to spend on research and new hiring so they can improve. But they will not improve and the money will be wasted and that means you lose your investment.

                                They need to fix their shit and don't have the money and that's the sole reason they are going public...to raise money.

                                Google has no business plan as does Yahoo.
                                Yahoo is a comprehensive site with it's own managed directory.
                                Yahoo has a multitude of features that will take years for google to try and compete...for example tv.yahoo.com, movies.yahoo.com, yahoo personals, geocities, etc...
                                all of these features keep daily traffic on yahoo.

                                Google is on the road to failure and in the exact same manner as Altavista and Go.com

                                Save your fucking money and buy traffic with it.
                                Good luck.

                                  people really like Google... but it depends on how their biz model holds up long term... they have already lost some popularity because of their now more commercial approach etc and they got so big because of the opposite but certainly worth a gamble IMO even if you arent big enough to get in on the early rounds.

                                      I posted a thread about this earlier on GFY. No one replied so I thought it might have been old. I saw it on the news earlier today.

                                        I do remember that... in fact, back in '99 some of the online broker accounts were attempting to let their members buy IPO shares, but unfortunately it never worked out.

                                        When the now defunct MP3.com went public back then, there was quite a bit of buzz. So I attempted to buy up around $10k worth of IPO shares... only to find out that my buy order never went through. Would have stood to make some damn good money from that IPO... but was more or less screwed by E-Trade, not being able to fulfill the promises to their clients.

                                        If I'm not misaken, there's even talk of this Google IPO using a lottery system when it comes to allocating shares. Good old supply and demand will dictate if you can get shares, and just how many you'll actually be able to get.

                                        Not trying to be a naysayer here... because I would love to get in on this one myself. So I say again, if anybody has any info on where to acquire shares... by all means share the wealth

                                          Google has to work harder being itself now.....as of last week, Yahoo doesn't use Google results anymore! They said the day after, Google dropped 21% in searches and traffic.
                                          But i'm sure with it going on the market...things will get better.

                                            google is expanding much faster isn't it?
                                            Google will never be able to compete with Yahoo...period!

                                            Yahoo got it right the first time and got years ahead so that folks like google could never catch them.

                                            Yahoo is becoming the "home page" of choice and this will only increase with the newbies getting more computers.

                                            Yahoo has cornered the market where a noob need only go to yahoo to have a full web experience without downloading a virus.

                                            As computers become more accessible to low income people who cannot fix their computer; sites like Yahoo that have a rep for protecting them will rule. This touches on a whole new thread I could hahahahaha about how asshole webmasters made Yahoo the king.

                                            Google will fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                            You will soon see the Yahoo logo on computers in stores because noobs will simply want to know "can this computer get Yahoo?"
                                            Good luck.

                                              if you can get your hands on google at the ipo price it would be worth it, but for most people you might get it at inflated values.

                                              i can't say if i would invest in it, because i haven't looked at any financials or annual reports from google.

                                                          It's growning but mainly as a plugin search.
                                                          This is not a strong position. Anyone can come in with an equally powerful plugin, especially when the price of services and equipment drops and thus leaving google with a bunch of old shit they invested millions in and will be trying to pay off in a 10 year installment.

                                                          I would hope that you and others in your position will not be too quick to dump yor money in things like this.
                                                          We (webmasters) don't need to see any more big players go down! That Globill fiasco ruined some up and comming folks.

                                                          So I say to you and other big players, "don't dump your cash in something bad because we all will go down with you!".
                                                          Good luck.

                                                              past examples: yahoo, excite, infoseek, and a million others of ridiculous se stocks during the tech boom.
