Google, the KING of ALL MEDIA

Howard Stern, he could not hold a candle to Larry and Sergey, they are the new KINGS of ALL MEDIA.

These guys are the best thing to happen to the press since WACKO JACKO......

Now they have all of those PLAYBOY MODELS calling them, what more could a young man want, money, fame and now every young Playboy Bunny wanting to go on dates with them!

As far as the Google IPO, if anyone is really interested in reading about it anywhere else other than Playboy, check out the following URL

The Google Turbocharged IPO
by August 13, 2004 8:34 AM PDT
This IPO might be the most unique offering ever. Google has seemed to build an investment model based on the idea that speed kills. Now we have a whole new way of investing without the need for checking facts or wasting time. This thing is moving so fast, that the facts change faster than the investors ability to analyze them. You could bid on Google and by some the time you know what happens, well something else just happened. So maybe it was good and well then again maybe it wasn't so good! Wall Street has a way of slowing things down, the value of which is that any analysis is given the chance to be proven or disproven in good time. Automating the process may speed thing along, but speed kills.

If you really want to slow down things a few notches, look for the SEC to enforce the speed limits. Google may be getting a few speeding tickets. This is better than crashing and it means less burning. There are limits to how fast a company can grow, even with a turbocharged IPO. Google might want to get a NASCAR team together with some of that cash from the IPO. Go Team Google Go!

Don't hit the wall!
This is utter bullshit

The institutions are clearly just trying to talk the price down so that they can get in on the cheap. The Playboy interview doesn't violate diddly-squat. The regulators will likely jump on it because all they can do is respond in their pavlovian way to media hype.

PO you are a nice guy, but how much Google stock do you own?
by anthonycea August 13, 2004 4:27 PM PDT
PO,you are a insider in this deal, why don't you just tell us if you are going to make a Billion off of the Google deal?

You would not happen to be bias in all of this would you?

Sir, I like you personally and you are a Billionaire already, but really, do you think in reality that this IPO was done the RIGHT way.

Just come out and say it, Google _________ up on this one.

Bill Gates is laughing his ________ off right now.

Why don't you help a little guy like me PO, I have great ideas too......
