Google, Inc. (GOOG)

I respect the company (somewhat), but not the stock.

Gmail and Google Docs are by far my favorite cloud applications. Android is looking more and more like a true iPhone competitor. Rapidly expanding consumer and business applications that are already making strong inroads into government and business operations. Google will make money, and lots of it, regardless of its ability to maintain search dominance.

Great company

He who controls the search controls the universe.

Google wil maintain a monopoly on advertising revenue throughout much of the world save some asian countries like China in particular where Yahoo is no. 1 albeit not as far ahead of Google as Google is of everyone else in the Western world.

Google has a monopoly on paid search traffic on the web. Basically every internet business in the western world pays google for traffic and strives to optimize their sites as to show up on the top of Google search listings. eCommerce and web based companies are appearing every day, and Google owns what matters to them the most: the web traffic, so much so that success on Google's search engine can and often does determine the fate of an internet business. As long as Google remains somewhat innovative, they will continue to pump money from emerging internet businesses needing traffic. As more and more businsesses and human beings go electronic, Google will benefit. I don't see this trend stopping anytime soon.

I will never understand advertising on the internet (the revenue side). Google will have to find new sources of revenue and eyeballs, clicks, mind share, and all the other crap that they speak so highly of, will fade. I do like their mantra of "Do no Evil", so it's hard to give these guys a thumbs down, but this is not personal, this is just business.

Superior execution of their business model ... plus they've got much more up their sleeve that they haven't shown us yet ! This company is simply impressive, both inside and outside.

Can't stop it

A long run up ... time to rest

3 words, google is high

Most innovative player focused on growth

Get out of the way, Microsoft!

It dominates the internet with its search engine and dominates the ad market. Therefore that = MONOPOLY.

Strong perfomance in a bad market combined with a soon to be blockbuster Android product makes Google well poised to climb in revenue and market shares across the board.

> Overpriced, no big upside potential
> Risky - too much hiped
> Most of the diversification attempts failed or unable to make money - Google Base, Gmail, UTube, etc
> Growth in Search is limited & saturated

google wave

Completely over rated company.
Silly cash burn and wild eyes projects
Not smart enough to have been acquiring growing companies past few years is a clear sign to me.
Yahoo is a phenomonal web page and Bing essentially does the same thing the google search does.
When all of your income revolves around a "Habit" from a generation and technology that is relatively new then you cannot be surprised when your revenues peak.
Android is a terrible phone that few are interested in.
They should have been making aquisitions such as Amzn when they were 30 bucks a share.

Google continuues to innovate with products like gmail and android
