Google is a giant now for a reason. The next 10-20 years will be dictated by information. Google is a massive entity that has a prime goal of organizing and delivering any information people will think of want/need. They began construction on the largest information storage facility in history, and I have a strong feeling that in a couple of years, Google will house just about every bit of data that exists in the interent on it's own machines, which will be superpowerful at that... and be able to advertise, deliver, and exceed the scope of what everyone thought was possible. I see this stock hitting $1000 by 2010. I wonder if they'll eventually open their own private college.

I completely agree. For the past three years I considered Google overpriced, overhyped and due for a commeuppance, but they have proved me wrong. The commoditization of information is the next (and ongoing) revolution in the global economy. Google is evolving into a global brain for storing, categorizing and delivering that information. And soon it will be everywhere as wireless and handhelds with easy reliable web service proliferate. They can leverage that core technology and business model into more and more spaces - like the web-based software products they now offer. This is the ultimate disruptive company and it is disrupting so many industries......I think $1500 by 2010. Buy and hold. And average in on the down swings.

"Watch this loser crash after the next earnings report"...? There will always be skeptics like dwot and even more ridiculously em5 who called google a "fad." 55% of all online searches go through google! That is an insane, AND rising number. Google is anything BUT a fad. It has reached a point in dominance that no one will be able to overtake this giant. It's growth projections are COMPLETELY conservative, and I think that this stock will reach 1000$ in three years. It has conquered 55% of the online searches, will continue to drive that number upwards, and will expand into new markets. Also, the global expansion is key as well. Notice their partnership with China Mobile (CHL) the DOMINANT cell-phone provider in China. Google is the smartest and the best and will not be surpassed. All other competitors are always scrambling to keep up with Google... and quite simply, they cant. With their superior knowledge and management, this IS a 1000$ stock according to my valuation, and I willing to bet on this great company, with great management, with great growth potential, and with a dominant lead in its industry. Google is no fad.

I too, believe that GOOG is poised for even greater growth over the next 3 years. As you point out, over 55% of searches now go through GOOG. No other platform in the world has this company's resources. Look for $1000 by 2010. By the way, some people thought PCs were fads. And cell phones. And PDAs. And iPods. And Windows. (After all, there's so much free content on the internet, no one will pay for a computer with Windows on it. Just download the programs you need.) What those people forgot (and I tend to think dwot forgot) is that consumer demand drove those technologies. Consumer demand resulted in AAPL selling 100 million iPods, transforming the music industry, and spawning new products from every consumer electronics manufacturer to take advantage of the music player platform. That's what GOOG brings to the search engine technology table. If you want to access the most people on the Web, sponsor your site on GOOG, and you will get more hits. No other platform gives as much exposure to as many people. That will continue in the years to come.

Update: Google will be bidding on the 700Mhz wireless spectrum which goes live for them, if they get it, in 2009. Google has more cash on hand than verizon and Att so this is a no-brainer.You know what that means? Come 2009, Google will probably be giving away free broadband wireless to just about anyone who wants it (with a touch of SMART advertising, by the way).If Google seals the deal, ATT, Verizon, and the old giants are in A LOT of trouble.GO GOOGLE!!!

I a lot of people who don't have websites don't understand Google's power. A website's success, especially for a young website, is almost 100% dependent on Google. If a new website gets a high Google page rank, then that has a chance to be a huge hit. Also, I really like the way Google keeps adding new and better products to their site even if it might not immediately help their bottom line. A good example of this is the is the new Google Sky. W/ this program anyone can look at the stars and become an astronomer. This might not add a lot to the bottom line right now, but it will definitely bring attention to Google. I'm having a little trouble deciding if the valuation for google is attractive right now. I believe in the company, but I'm not quite sure right now is a great time to buy.best, Chandlerhttp://www.stockboxfinancial.com
