Have you bought Google.com?

I mean "Do you own some shares of Google?"

I think company like Google is really worth investing in. Their revenue is mostly generated from "Pay-Per-Click" ads. In just one day, millions searchers around the globe visit google and click those sponsored links. Every click on the sponsored links will give Google from 3 cents to a few hundreds dollars! Amazing! Isn't it?

The furture of Google will be much brighter, because of its new services such as 1GB Gmail.

In 6 months, Google stock's price has skyrocketed from $100 to $200.

Yes indeed, Google is a great company. They have conquered the world once, with their search engine, and the will do it the second time with their gmail. Their management team does a really great work. I was tracking their stocks for some time, when they just opened, already then everyone was buying google.
Now it has the best ( A+ ) diagnosis mark on Investors Business Daily web site, which i use to analise stocks, and it has the best performance in Internet - Content group also there, beating Yahoo , Travel Zoo, and Aptimus.

Is Google's stock blue-chip? Google's will never down, I think, because it doesn't make much expenses, and it get stream of revenue every single second.

Every company can go bankrupt, and any stock can go down, it dependes on many factors, for example what if war will start. But in normaln conditions GOOG has a very good growing potential.

I believe its just a matter of time before all of the search engines will be bought by google and google will control the internet :-P Of course there will be rebels and all but they will dominate. the thing to do with Google though is figure out when it goes down. most of the time the stock will go down before big holidays (valentine's day being an example, it went down 3 dollars because people wanted to buy their woman flowers).

Anyways I think the way to go is to play it like forex, scalp it. Sadly I would probably never do it due to its extremely high price

let me add on to that:
terrorists blow up the google headquarter. I wish that would never happen but you never know, we live in a crazy world. That results into billions of data lost, probably millions of dollars lost in servers. and internet will never be the same.

Thats my frightened view on it

Last comment before someone answers I swear,

I think the 1GB Gmail will only start hurting them in the beginning. I believe they will start sending in spam though. I mean I have a gmail account I never gave out and managed to get some spam (probably tests). But I've read somewhere that in the terms and conditions you agree that they rent/sell the list of people, so that will bring them their money back.

Thats all for now

Google is smarter than Yahoo and Hotmail in giving away the huge email box. Gmail offers you 1GB email box, but you're not allocated full 1GB space initially. Google will add more hard disk as overall users' usage exceed the capacity. It's like Pay-As-Users-Go service, so Gmail saves big bucks while giving user 1GB space.

In the future (about 2010-2015), we will all use ferroelectric disk instead hard disk. The data will be stored in 3D, thus allow you to store data in volume not on surface like today. 1000GB (1TB) FeDisk will cost you about $80, so cheap isn't it?

FeDisk will be 400,000 times faster than hard disk, and will be used to replace both RAM and Hard Disk. Kewl!

So at that time, Google will advertise "Free Unlimited Email Box Now!".

Amazing company! Its stock price jumped from 100 to 200, 200 to 300, and now 300 to 400! It just unbelievable for a company that provide only 4 major services: Free Search Engine, Free Email, Free Voice Messenger, and Free Satellite Imaginary (Google's Earth, Google's Moon, etc). Now if Google decided that it can offer Free Payment System, then who knows that the price would jump to $500 in 1 week?
