Comments on: Wall Street agog over Google

Analysts set share price targets all the way up to $500, but others worry a lack of revenue diversity could hurt.

another black tuesday

this kind of over-valuation of googles stock, when their revenue doesn't in any way justify the stock price can only lead to one thing: a stock market crash that will most definitely take other companies down with it.

Google a disaster in the making

Google is vastly over-priced, making billionaires out of too many people for far too little real value and quality-based revenue.

It IS an interesting, vibrant company with a hot product and fairly good vision, yes.

But as it is, when it goes bust, it will make paupers of a great many people and a great many other companies -- and it could well be the herald of another, more disastrous .dotcom crash.

Mist this one

damn, there's 2 companies i really believe in and sympathies
with but i just bought Apple. Can't have 'm all i guess. :/ :)

Apple has only 58 BN market cap, unworldly to think that Google
is twice that big. Overvalued?

It's 1999 again!

Remember Blodget saying Amazon will hit $400?

"And is it so far-fetched to imagine"

... Google's cap one day surpassing even Microsoft and its $295.4 billion market cap, to become the most valuable company in tech?"... are we forgetting that it is the Google/Sun Microsystems/IBM's Open Document Standards adoption strategies for the desktop push (Microsoft's Turf) that has forced that company to undertake company-wide restructuring... hence the battle for the "desktop services revenue". How quickly we forget some things! How about a reduction in Microsoft's "market cap" in the not too distant future due to fierce world-wide competition?

Wall AGOG over Google ga-ga (Too much Kool-aid no doubt:)

As far as a new paradigm? I would not go as far as to say that. They are working under a business model that was developed early on with some search partners such as MIRVA which has not enjoyed the support of the open source community such as Google, which in a word has been ?phenomenal?. But should this extraordinary group of Geekdom come to feel that Google has dropped the ball that support will evaporate like the morning dew. There is also a number of issue surrounding this Captain Click concerning the copyrights of such things as keywords especially when it comes down to registered names? I think there is a wall coming up fast. Somesay its not the impact that kills so much as the sudden stop at the end:)
