don't like to gamble when there are so many great growth companies out there without P/E's near 3 figures waiting for the inevitable hammer. I don't like to high five myself after each market close just for not getting my head chopped off. Put it this way, for this company to double two more times, it'd have to become the biggest company in the world, and if it somehow managed to miracously become the most dominant company in the planet, even if it did that TOMORROW, it would still be selling at a P/E above the market. why take a 50% downside risk for the chance to maybe double your money again from here. make your doubles the safe way, like midd and qsii did for me. that is, unless you all admit that you are gambling here, not investing. because this is the most peculiar type of investing I've ever seen in my life. if you're doing it for the thrill though, I do understand that. there is some value in that, just for the psychological excitement. it's one thing if you owned it from 100 or 200, because of tax implications, but to comtemplate a purchase here? you momentum guys must have balls and money to spare cheers. the rumors I've heard from wall street is that they all laugh to themselves about this thing. it's a search engine. it'll diversify, but you know what that will do. "slow" growth. do you know what's going to happen to this thing when growth "slows" to 50%? I don't know. nobody can predict the future. EXCEPT ME. mua. ha. ha

I have no doubt that GOOG will be the biggest company in the world in the next 10 years . . .
