Invest In Google
 

I dunno if any of you invest...I thought i heard some of you do. i like to invest money in the equity markets. Now is a good time to buy google imho. I think it's getting ready to take off. when the 1Q earnings come next month i think google will be bullish. time to get in the game right now imho.

look at the earnings per share you could see that the stock is quite undervalued. if you are looking for the breakout stock this spring, google is your pick. the forward p/e ratio is looking good too imho.

google is making some big moves in the international market, as well as with the advance of mobile technology. they are a big player in the mobile tech market, and they are planning some big things in the future.

i would look for this stock to break 600 easily by the end of the second quarter. strong earnings, good return on equity, and strong potential for growth and market expansion makes google a very attactive investment.

i'm gonna make so much money off this pick its not even funny. put in some money and you will def get a 10% return on your investment

How do you think Google pulling out of China will impact their stock value? I've read numerous reports in the Tapei Times and China Post that it's all but certain now.

Shaw pulled out of China, look what happened to him.

I think Google is ready to implode, personally. They are buying instead of creating. This does not make me excited.

I don't know who you are, but based on your advice I just paid 556.51 for 4 shares of Google. Wish me luck.

The thing that the market already knows all the information you're basing your advice on, so it is already included in the price; had you found this out before anybody else it would be usefull, but everybody already knows it so it's not all that usefull.

I'm terribly sorry for you. What I meant to say was DON"T invest in Google. Google is not going to be able to handle the competition coming at it in all directions. When companies like Microsoft and Apple have you in their sights, you're fucking done. Microsoft is attacking them at the search engine level with relatively little success thus far. I can see this changing in the future due to Microsoft's ability to take something that was done well, improve on it, and take a sizable portion of the market share.

On the other front, Apple is a major player in the mobile technology arena, an arena which Google is trying to penetrate. I do not see success for Google in this area. Their new cell phone is not likely to fair well in the market imo. I could be wrong, but I don't think Google is going to fair well in the long run.

As far as technology stocks go, there isn't really a safe bet with any of them. I believe they all have contingencies that could make or break them. I'd stay away from Microsoft until they actually get something innovative out on the market. Bing is not that something imo. RIM is falling out, the blackberry is falling behind to other brands.

I think the two best bets you have are Motorola, the droid is a very advanced piece of mobile technology (anyone know how sales of the droid are doing?) and Apple.

Of these two I think Apple is the best bet. They have huge market potential if they can gain access to other service providers. I know they have some contract with ATT, but I'm not exactly certain on the details of it. If they can gain access to other service providers via a new contract or a new model of phone, sales will jump big time. I own Apple and it's the only tech stock I own right now. The only major contingency I see for Apple is Steve Jobs' impending death. I'm not sure how the market or the company will respond to that. Personally, I think they might take a beating in the market for a short while after his death, but the company will remain solid and recover quickly.

ummmm?

Google is trying out its foot in the voice-recognition market, an area which is 85% run by Nuance Technologies (NUAN) (a stock I have a deep investment in.) Nuance is already in the majority of cars, Iphones and has contacts with Verizon, the FBI, and has bought out the majority of its opponents. Just two weeks ago, it was rumored Google was going to buy out Nuance, as it would not be able to penetrate them. Both denied and Nuance came out with a statement that it has built its company for the long-term future. Pretty interesting.

Google has officially stopped censoring in China.

Well, you also can't access it in China anymore.

EDIT: Wrong, I took that from here, but I misread it. It says China MAY block it. Which means they probably will.

I just heard that Apple has plans for developing a new iPhone for use with other service providers, namely Verizon. As usual, I was right. This is going to be huge for Apple. Especially because Verizon has the largest customer base. Coupled with the new iPad (sounds like an electronic feminine product) set to ass fuck Amazon, I'd say now is a good time to buy Apple.

IPad!? Goddamn you Apple, I hate you so bad.

The Shaw Group was down 1.6% today. Shaw, do you have any comments on this drop? What strategies are you implementing to regain investors' confidence?

On another note, what do you guys think about this whole Greece thing? I'm a bit of a contrarian, and therefore I am going to buy Greek bonds. I know, people may think that's crazy, but Greece isn't going to go bankrupt. The ECB may be talking tough right now, but I guaran fucking tee that they devalue their currency and bail Greece out. If that happens and Greece doesn't default, the yield on their bonds will be extraordinary.

I think you can relate this situation, at least somewhat, to the California story. Last year everyone thought Cali was going to go bankrupt and default on their debt. I knew the American government would never allow this to happen, plus I have faith in the Governator. I made a huge gain on these bonds, tax free, too.

I'd bet neither Cali or Greece default either. But if they do you lose a hell of a lot more than you win if they don't. So you need to be very confident.
