  • On the other hand, I can't help but be impressed by net revenues that increased 106% in 2005, identical to the pace of growth in 2004. The company's burning down the barn.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

    • Institutions are defending the Google stock. Lots of shorts got burnt today. Even if the big institutions decide to liquidate, they would squeeze the weak shorts to get better sale prices. The next few days will give us a clue about big institutions' decision.

      But GOOG, given the current growth trend, is not worth $400.

      • GOOG will be a good short 10-20 bucks above current price level. The only thing that weighs on shorts is the potential addition to the S&P 500 index. This event alone could cause a 30-50 points jump in 1 day.

                  Two items of note. (1) GOOG has little short interest involved in the stock (~3%). (2) Institutions are not very heavily invested in GOOG (~38%).

                  If we were talking about GM, with 17% short interest and 90% owned by institutions, that would be a whole 'nuther ball game.

                  • Seriously speaking, I tripled my money in about a month. Easily the best speculation that I've ever made. GOOG is down another $10 today, even though other tech stocks are jumping.

                    This presents a new problem for me. Do I sell?

                      Two thumbs up! Way up!

                      As I said before I wont invest my cash in goog but it'll go back over $400 pretty quickly so I'd sell.

                                You can wait a couple more months then. GOOG is very likely to visit 300. But I doubt it will go all the way to 200 by June, at least not so quick.
