ehhh… i’d think about it… buying google at 50 - 75 bucks would of been ideal… damn you’d be making out… but currently it’s at ~280 and thats a hefty buy in… i was looking at it and it’s estimated to go to 350, but the up and down of hte past 72months has been 70! - 315… that’s a freakin margin…

all it’s going to take it a big power outage or a worm or something that will kill these internet businesses, ebay / google, for a few hours, that will remind people how fragile these businesses are… once that happens you’ll see these stocks fall off the face of the earth.

just my 0.02 i’ve been watching companies like this for a while… it’s a tough decision.

confused but interesting…

also to comment on investing in google…

I watch MAD Money all the time, love the Lightning Round, and Jim says google is taking off. I would invest some money in Google, but NOT too much. (So Jim Says)

I’ve used trillian for years. It’s great for combining all 4, renaming contacts, and saving conversations.

damn, I cant log in on this OS10.4(got hired to the iPod support doing QA stuff, so apple sent out about 400 MiniMacs to the center :mullet: ) machine here at work with iChat(supported by googles chat). I think the router blocks it. Can get on AIM tho.
