What Happens When Winners Like Google Hit the Skids

short google

bush is an idiot

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. In the past 50 years, all market types that had a rapid rise also had a rapid decline.

Yeah...it's always the fault of the government when uninformed speculators buy over-valued stocks, no money down ARM mortgages or somehow let stoopid people make stoopid business decisions...and THEN these same idiots cry to their elected officials to bail them out with tax money. Go figure...but that's the problem...too many of these knuckleheads have no idea "HOW" to figure, much less evavluate a good or bad business deal. Same as Enron, WorldComm, the Dutch Tulip Mania, etc.

Google erupted like a hot date filled with passion and lust. Everyone jumped in due to the media hype and stellar earnings. But like any hot date, after the passion fizzles out, what's left over is what the company is *really* worth to its shareholders, and most educated people know that it's impossible to sustain earnings and double-digit growth quarter after quarter. At some point, the house of cards will fall. Google missed Wall Street's expected net revenue and EPS back on 1/31. In the face of deteriorating economic slowdown and inflation, what do you think is in store for the next earnings call?

Yes, it's your own fault when you have no tools

yeah I got burnt on this sucker as Cramer was still calling it a buy at $700 as I was looking for a hot stock. Do I sell now at this price??

glad i sold and made 10 x my money i hope it goes to 100

Now is the time to invest in Google in the long-term. Short term its the SDS for me :-)

Google!

Google is another dot com type of company. Wall street falling all over its self and all this hype over a company that does what? Sell ad space and populate your PC with invasive software. Okay, they have a few nice things but really, did we not learn from 2000 - 2003? Soon, the real value of google will be realized and it'll be $45 a share.

Geez, talk about a bubble - $600 for Google -again nothing was learned in 2000 about ridiculous stock runups.

cletismcshane said it best... Anyone that bought GOOG better sell because this stock is a fad much like the majority of the DOT BOMB companies. Google will survive, but it will be coming down to a realistic price. Look for $50/share. They have been living fat off of the over inflated stock prices and want to continue to do so. Layoffs in the name of greed. I sure hope GOOGLE still has enough money and talent left to continue their war against Microsoft.

No different than ORCL, AMZN etc.. during the bubble. Good companies with stupid stock valuations. Nothing wrong with GOOG. Great business model just got WAY ahead of itself.

This story kind of looking like YAHOOs? :-)

I made a lot of money on Google last year. Who cares what it does now..on to the next opportunity---its the only way to make money in stocks. Move on

SIR PLEASE YOUR onestly HELP THANK YOU VERY MUCH My second email is gheorghesima2007@yahoo.com v

Looks like the boys from google will be trading in their 757 for a single prop puddle jumper. Nice call cosmo to buy it at 700

If there wan't so much greed in this country from the super rich who have created the mortgage mess, we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am just sick of all the corruption in this country, causing the middle class and the poor to suffer the consequences. When is all this going to stop!?

Maybe they believed their own hype and have become very arrogant.
