Re: "goog"

well, since their stock price has no basis in reality (ie. its not being based upon any kind of substantial earnings), i could have told you this was coming a looong time ago. anytime you get a stock trading way above normal P/E or P/CF ratios for the industry its in, unless its based on enormous earnings, things are gonna go in the crapper eventually (see: tech stock bubble circa 2000).

[quote=asdf_admin]stock tip of the days. [COLOR=Red]sell.[/COLOR][/quote] I just think that Google went on sale... More of a time to buy. Google does not offer Guidence in its Q conference calls, that is both good and bad.

George Reyes (CFO) did not know that his comments would cause the stock to plummit. (or maybe he did ;) ). Either way, I am of the opinion that the GOOG stock just got marked down and is on sale for a few days. I remain bullish to $475 It is trading at 72X earnings now @ $364.

Reyes just said that growth would slow a bit. That is all. A company the size of Google can't continue to grow at that rate. However, GOOG has virtually NO DEBT! Growth may slow (a point or two) but the company doing extremely well. The China deal will just help. Its moving away from huge growth to more of a GE type company.

In other news AAPL went on sale yesterday! Its under $70 right now.

I'm just sitting here watching Powerwave and Seagate go nuts.

HEY, GUYS THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS.... 8)

whoa, who would have thought lance cushion is an economist :p hehe, really liking the mixes man, good work :RockOn:

Re: "goog"

LOL.
Thanks man...

the mixes have gone as Techy as my portfolio. Oh well, if the economy slows a bit, which it is doing right now and the FED does not let up on interest rates in spring, we'll all be looking at gold for investment, General Electric and big pharmaceutical companines (people just don't stop taking their drugs just because the economy slows). Not quite as sexy as TECH stocks.

Berdenke, sir... please cut interest rates thanks.

:?:

you remain bullish with that kind of multiple?! a P/E of 72x is so bubble-esque its not even funny. they should be trading at 20-30x earnings tops. they are hugely overvalued.

Re: "goog"

GOOG is so overpriced, based upon YHOO's valuations(book value per share), GOOG should be trading @ about $180. Its about double that right now..

no way is GOOG worth twice the price of YHOO

SELL

Yahoo is sitting on a mountain of debt. Google has room to grown and the liquid to do it. YHOO is a great stock. However, GOOG IPO in 2004 was at $85? The amount of growth has been huge... thats why its trading 72X earings You really thing that GOOG should be trading at $180? Google has paid off debt and made moves to take over new markets in search while keeping would-be allies and competitors guessing as to what effect they will have on the market they choose to enter.

Yhoo is on the defensive and Goog on the offensive. If you are looking for growth? Goog is the one. Yahoo is a safer stock if you look at the dollar amount of an individual share, than google.

HOWEVER, if you take into account company debt and the underestimated power of microsoft in the equation, Yahoo doesn't look quite as good as analysts suggest.

Looking for Growth, go GOOG! There are risks as with any stock... you are after all just buying a price... betting.

Re: "goog"

BTW, if you want to lose money... sell on weakness.

Especially, if you get sucked into momentum buying and you don't know when to take a profit.

Re: "goog"

google needs to diversify the way they bring in revenue if it hopes to have its stock in a good position in the future. the pay-per-click advertising revenue wont hold up forever.

Re: "goog"

ya they need a googlestation or googlebox. I would stick with keeping the stock.

Re: "goog"

I think they need to get together with a great computer maker (AAPL) and a great coffee maker (SBUX) and completely take over the world... at least mine :) I forgot iTunes... oh and the 20% share that Starbucks will have in China's coffee drinking market.

oooohhhh!!!!

agreed with the pay-per-click thought, that is why Reyes said their growth would slow in 2006.

Re: "goog"

They are working with Ubuntu right now. I can only assume on an OS for a google appliance.

Re: "goog"

I really think "goog" is creating the dot net bubble all over again or at least an instance. very over hyped and very over priced. it is only time before it comes crashing down. The only good thing about google (investor stand point) is that they got their hands in so many pots, and that if one sector fails they can still be on the up and up. Great company strategy and highly risky.

Lance, I do not agree on your comment with straight weakness and lows ("goog"). Just because a stock falls does not mean you should buy. You must be carefull, I have watched some stocks drop, drop, and drop. Luckily google is big enough, and hopefully smart enough. Granted if you are a day trader or short term, you could make some money very quickly, but I am a long term investor. This is too risky for me.

On the other hand, the stock market to some is a form of gambling.

Buy if you wish, but buy it at high risk. I would never recommend someone to invest in a stock like that. You get yourself shot ... ;) and I all ready have been shot at.

ps. Go etrade! ;)[/quote] I never said that if just any "stock" falls in price ...buy it. No, you look for a solid company (with good financials) with a stock price that might be low for a period of time (on sale). Like AAPL was on Monday. It went on sale in my opinion. Time to buy shares. Let it go up and book a profit... hold on to a bit for Q1 announcements.

I have long-term investments for slow-growth/dividends for safety and short-term (high-growth) investments with higher risk but have potential for huge profits. The days of buy and hold are over. I spend a couple hours per day going over each of my positions. I agree with sticking with slow-growth market giants like GE (for example). However, I would buy an annuity linked to the S&P if I wan security. There is no security linked directly with one individual equity.

*** It also depends on your investing needs and style. I have dedicated part of my portfolio to high-growth more speculative stocks that have potiential to 3X the S&P. Given their is risk but, the reward could be huge. I also have more conservative stocks like United Health Care (UNH)... still have poteniel to have solid growth. I'm in and out of Apple, taking profits when I can (a trade). I also buy deep in-the-money calls (options) as well. There is a difference in trading and investing. I look for both and know what to expect from both... risk and upside.

If you want long term stability, look for an annutity...AIG is a good company. Hell, buying some gold is good as well.

Wanna beat all this shit with a big stick... Real Estate in well priced/stable growning markets where you know the history.

I think a little of everything is the best plan.

I AM BY NO MEANS RECOMMENDING YOU DO ANYTHING WITHOUT RESEARCH.

BTW, I love having this conversation... people should know more about what to do with their money. Its not taught in school.

[QUOTE=lancecashion]Wanna beat all this shit with a big stick... Real Estate in well priced/stable growning markets where you know the history.[/QUOTE]

Agreed! For example Massachusetts appreciation has been at 630% over the last 25 years or so plus rent is about $21/sq ft... and this is just one state...

Re: "goog"

[quote=asdf_admin]

ps. Go etrade! ;)[/quote]

ETrade? LOL

I think that TD Ameritrade is the better investment play. I got in before they announced the special $6 dividend (@ $26/per share)... and then they bought out TD Waterhouse. The stock dropped 6 points. I held and bought more after the fall. (b/c the company financials are solid)... And the 6 point drop was just a discount from the $6 divided. Now its trading in at $22.40. Completely counterintuitive, but then so is the market.

Re: "goog"

haha. etrade rules. I am a power trader now, they do not hit me so hard when I trade now. I know I am a sucker.

Yes sir. I also like talking about money as well esp. in a more technical sense (investments).

I know what you mean, and I agree with you. I want to buy google at some point ... but it's a search engine with an entry field and an enter button. My logical mind battles that very hard. :lol:

I really got beaten bad by Flextronics "FLEX"... and still am trying to recover. They bounce around like no other, or perhaps because each slide or gain is a vacation or not. Ugh. Every morning ... It's sell or Buy, sell or buy, sell or buy. I should just set a price and leave. Fun stuff.

Yesterday, I spilt 20% of my 401k into 10% EAFE (INTERNATIONAL) (16% Gain) & 10% RUSSELL 2000 (Aprox 5%). I was reading all day about investments at work and all my stock options, etc. I was in heaven and got paid for it. sweet. 8)

I was actually in a stocks and commodities class in HS. I loved it. We had $50,000 and had to invest in at least 3 companies. I can not remember which comps I picked, but I know I came out 85,000 after 6 months. I hit a couple 2 for 1 splits and both prices almost reached the original spilt price. Very very lucky. I was top gainer in my class, and I think year. Because pot was introduced to me that year, I did not go to the State sponsored event for top gainers. I think I was swiming in a body of water with my junior friends throwing mud at each other. O boy, life.

I still wish it was were real. :lol: ... dreams.
