Google's top brass are facing their first real test of a tougher economy, falling stock market, and tanking stock price. Will they continue to defy Wall Street and corporate norms in pursuit of larger ideals?
I was delighted to be joined by Kara Swisher of All Things D at the Nasdaq this morning. She had some great observations about the essence of Messrs. Brin, Page, and Schmidt, and how they compare to other Valley visionaries.
I hope they continue to make the right long-term moves for shareholders, instead of being pressured to produce short-sighted, unsustainable immediate results that ultimately do not produce value for the shareholder.
Henry Blodgett and Tech Ticker are Yahoo's attempt at glib subterfuge. Blodgett is a complete jackass.
All I see here is a buying opportunity. The founders have a good vision as to where they want to take the company. It just kills me to see that comments from analysis can drive a companies stock price down.
Henry Bloget. His body language is kind of...... Hmmmm....
Henry Blogget: You look artificial and so are your talks.
Henry Blodget. why the hell is this guy still talking. "In 2002, Eliot Spitzer published Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget allegedly gave assessments about stocks, which conflicted with what was publicly published.[4] In 2003, he was charged with civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He settled without admitting or denying the allegations and was subsequently banned from the securities industry for life"
Henry Blogett is an idiot. She says "henry asusual your ovestating things" why is he here?
Somebody has paid bigbucks to Henry and his guest to speak and disrespect a company that has been announced as one of the best companies to work for. Good luck Henry for your future....the world is watching your nuttiness. You have no respect for yourself apart from having no values.
Who is this psyco Henry? Did Yahoo pay him for this? Shame on you Yahoo.
Go Google... this makes me want to buy more Google... stick it to schmucks like these talking heads.
Who cares what Henry Blodget, a former Merrill Lynch analyst, exposed for hyping stocks to help investment bankers sell their services to clients says?
"As usual, you're overstating things". I wonder what she could be referring to? rofl!
"who let the Blodget out"? who? who?...
Blodgett's a criminal and should be behind bars. It's a testament to the SEC's lack of teeth that the goon remains in the game. His existence argues for stronger regulation of the markets.
Right on Blodget, Google doesn't deserve these lofty valuations, if they still are performing 10 years from now we can talk.
Google has an excellent business model in paid search. However, google has been riding the wave of being the new cool upstart. Little negative has been said of Google until recently. After all 'they do no evil." They are the anti-establishment, unconventional, renegade that we all like to see succeed. And then, at some point, perhaps starting now, the renegade becomes the establishment. They will then become subject to all the criticism and faults that previous established players have endured.
You must be kidding. They re egomaniacs with big bucks. They dont give one whit about the business, the stockholders or their employees. They care about themselves and their egos. They dont need the job or the money but they dont want to give up the power they get from their positions. Take it private. You started the business. Dont think you can subject your shareholders to a sinking business. Spend your own money and buy the shares back already. You should be kissing Msfts butt for offering your failing business a pot of gold to dip into to help out your sinking business model. Instead you throw a tantrum that you ll loose power. Msft should walk away. I dont know what they re thinking of. You re not worth 45B.
