Google's share price hits $400

Google's share price got a dose of high octane in the past four weeks, soaring from $300 a share to hitting in excess of $400 on Thursday.

Does zero to 60 come to mind?

And the messages boards that track the sentiment of Google investors have been a buzz, with some predicting a further run up to $500 a share.

But amid the hoopla, here's a factoid to chew on - Google's market cap is a hair away from being twice that of its arch-competitor Yahoo.

Google's market cap is $112.6 billion, based on early morning trading. Yahoo is a mere $57.7 billion.
