hehe, i suggested a professional investor in 2004 to invest heavily in Google,
... he tought it was a bubble then

... and still thinks it is a bubble, and i still recommend buying!

Don't know if buying today would be interesting ? You still expect a reasonable rise ?

I'm certain that the majority of PC's will become browsers and all apps/storage will be "served" online. Google is working hard towards such a situation.
Even if it is a bubble, it will be a rising bubble.

They will get continued rivalry from Microsoft who's next office version will be quite "online" compared to current versions

Google has been a rising bubble until proven otherwise :)

@52 times earning current and 33x next year, it's a call people will have to make. Who can make a better presentation than Google's own chart ...

mighty impressive

MS stock will only go down (or rising slower then the market).
MS are no longer producing new technology, they are trying to keep up with technology ... they cannot follow the fast pace ... and therefore they will loose.

underestimating MS strength is dangerous, very dangerous, since they are the biggest driving force behind companies which rely on their products to function. Should never count them out of the equation, they might just pop up and take a large market share, and become the market leader before you know it. It happened before, it will happen again.

If you want to see in action what billions of dollars can do, look at the XBOX and XBOX 360; it was never a core business of Microsoft, they poured millions into that sector, and now are one of the dominating forces behind console gaming.

All hardware for PC is made Microsoft compatibility in mind. GFX, CPU, Mobo, etc.

Their next Office version will have online interaction, millions of people will use it, they will get instant market share no matter if the software is good or bad. That's their power and it should not be neglected just because they are not on the verge of technology in one sector.

52Wk High: 641.41

Not bad ;-)

If I just bought instead of brabbeled I would have earned already:)
