Google’s year long stock slide has brought shares in the company down to the $290 mark. This is the first time since 2005 that shares in Google have dipped below the $300 marks. This time last year Google’s stock was just under $750 a share. What a difference a year makes.

It was just more than a year ago, on November 1, 2007, that Google's stock price climbed above $700 for the first time, reaching a high of $741 later that month and leading some analysts and bloggers to speculate that it could hit $1,000 in due time. But by mid-January, the once-unsinkable stock had fallen below $600 and has not yet recovered.

Wish I was sitting on some money, plenty of stock bargains out there just in time for Xmas that'll be worth something again in a 2-3 years.
