goog is web 2.0’s poster child.

call me a conspiracy theoretician here, but this may be the only way the nets can put an end (however temporary) to this mad rush to the net.

since it is evident they can’t beat them in the business world (goog profits up 92%, nbc lays off 700), turning to the courts, which will take years the nets don’t have to sort things out, is iffy at best, what would take the wind out of goog’s sales (sic)???

how about shorting the stock? with the help of wall street (remember them? they are in the business of protecting american institutions) the matter could be the simple deflation of the web 2.0 bubble using the shares of its poster child.

if i were eric, serg, larry or any goog director or officer i would not only jaw bone the stock but i would out-and-out trash the current share price. so what if it lost $100 a share in one day because of it? far as i recall, it came public at $80 (without the help of wall street underwriters).

they’d be doing it for all the right reasons… to keep the 2nd internet bubble alive.

don’t underestimate the power of a handful of wall street pros…they ARE the market.

Steve. GOOG will prob. never split, if the founders stick to their words in the prospectus. Think BRK. GOOG is so not the next AOL. AOL is a crappy business, GOOG gains market share everyday.

The next AOL TIme Warner. This demonstrates why the $1.65B deal to buy YouTube was no big deal; it was purchased with Google’s ridiculously inflated stock. The next AOL TIme Warner.
