Updated at 9:44 a.m. PDT, with Google's stock price recovering.

Google's share price hit a new 52-week low Wednesday and continued its downward trek in early-morning trading Thursday.

The search giant's stock fell as low as $409.68 a share on Wednesday, breaking past its previous 52-week low of $412.11 in mid-March.

Google's shares have been sustaining a beating since mid-August, falling even further Thursday in early-morning trading to as low as $406.38 a share.

That price pushes its shares back to a level where the stock was trading in October 2006.

But by late morning trading, the stock rebounded and was up roughly 1.5 percent to $420.66 a share.

Wake me up please, when Google is Yahoo, Microsoft is Yoogle, and Yahoo is not there anymore.

And also, wake me up when Jerry Yang screwed Google.

Google is focused on long term domination of multiple markets. Their prospects are just as bright as they were two years ago. I believe the dip in stock value is largely a result of people getting antsy. The fundamentals haven't changed.

That's the problem. There is nothing to their strategy. The little foolgle 'brothers' just can't hack it on their own, and CEO is a complete pantywaste who's out for vengeance because he's washed up and hasn't has a single success in his continued wreckage of a career.

I just don't understand why people don't want more of this stock... Google is going to Save The World with its Munificent Non-Evil Energy Ventures(TM) and hey!--they added compiled JavaScript to a browser!

Life just isn't fair...
