why do you think they keep on adding things to labs.google.com ? ;)

Doctor Dre · 05-23-2005, 02:57 PM

They estimated it at 15b a year ago didn't they ?

Rebecca Love · 05-23-2005, 03:11 PM

That would make for a nice vacation!

pxxx · 05-23-2005, 03:12 PM

Wow, that is insane money.

Man, this reminds me of when eToys was worth more than some established blue chips. I'm not saying the same conclusion will apply here but let's wait for Microsoft to try and NETSCAPE (impromptu verb) Google in the search arena.

Gottis · 05-23-2005, 03:24 PM

$71 Billion is a fucking joke for something like Google. Market gone mad.

Sosa · 05-23-2005, 03:26 PM

The market is an organic animal driven by Fear and Greed. It will balance out in the long run. In the meantime..... Enjoy the ride!

Violetta · 05-23-2005, 04:49 PM

fuck thats a shitload of money!

toddler · 05-23-2005, 04:50 PM

I know several people who work there. $71B? I'd say thats low.

azguy · 05-23-2005, 04:53 PM

Google needs to buy Amazon YESTERDAY. It will come.

Rinaldo · 05-23-2005, 05:13 PM

I want to work there now shit lol... well actually wish I'd worked there since the beginning so that stock option'd be paying off

Skripter · 05-23-2005, 05:18 PM

Yeah. Longhorn is just another filler OS. (read: Windows ME)
It did look pretty new when they started, but they cut anything that made it worthwhile. But thats a post for another time..

I agree that $71b seems rather low for Google. Still nothing to complain about though. As someone said, its well past were they expected to be in the game at this point.

Mike Okitch · 05-23-2005, 05:24 PM

It's not surprising. Disney is a Mickey Mouse business*

* okay, it's a lame joke, well, not really a joke. Anyways it was a lame play on words but hey! It had to be said!

UniversalPassLorence · 05-23-2005, 05:26 PM

They will be worth more next year, I'll bet.

Kevsh · 05-23-2005, 05:26 PM

Still, I'd rather own Disney (minus Eisner).
Safer long-term investment than anything dot-com.

Chimmy · 05-23-2005, 05:29 PM

The advertising revenue figures were released last week. Google now makes more in advertising revenue than all 3 major t.v. networks combined. So, this isn't just a case of dot.com fever. There is solid performance behind their esculating value.

mrthumbs · 05-23-2005, 05:32 PM

that bubble will make a big bang once it explodes.

Why Amazon?

Google is pumping their own stock these days. Google Ride Finder, Web Accelerator.. give me a break. Google is telling investors it's ready to become a true Yahoo-like powerhouse. IMHO, they are about to go hunting and start an impressive shopping spree in a month or two.

I have many more reasons to believe Amazon is their target, but to be honest, this thread will dissapear from the front page in less than an hour, so further explaining my analysis here is a complete waste of my time.

We'll discuss `GoogAmazon` again when this transaction is announced, hopefully in the next few months. Either way, I'm still holding my Google shares.. what the heck.
