Review: Finally an article on Google that makes sense. Google is in essence an online-text advertising company. Advertising is their only significant revenue stream. Online advertising and search are so primitive for that matter. When Google stock started exploding, I just went "here we go again," reminded by the dot-com days. It was irrational exuberance. Let's hope such simple sense is embraced by more people and they start to look at Google through the correct lens.

Review: Great article. I had not heard that they would have made their number except for the tax rate. Good insight.

Review: Conspiracy Theory:
President Bush lackeys in the Global Market analysis are punishing Goggle for not readily complying with the U.S. Senate invasion of American citizens searches by punishing them with higher taxes and no consideration of that for future confidence in earnings.

Review: Google is one of the best search engines. Apart from diversifying it should concentrate also on refining the search results so that more relevant information is shown.
Google stands for "search" and that basic intention should not be sacrificed. I am of the opinion that with Internet penetrating more and more Google's revenues from advertisements will defenitely go up -- but time can only give the answer.

Review: I've simply have had enough of Google. I don't think I will read another Google article for a few months. Let me know when thet do something big like starting their own TV station "Google TV". They have to come up with something new. They can't just keep copying all their competitors.

Review: Google is dumping cash left and right on questionable businesses. There is too much emphasis on performance for stock and employees are recommending far-fetched ideas in hopes of obtaining larger share options. This young upstart does not know how to spend the excess cash they've been given. Don't believe analysts recommendations, they're simply baiting meals for their employers, the large funds and brokerage houses. My advice: Sell before it's too late and invest in ideas that will work vs ideas that "can" work.
