I wanted to buy into Google when it first went public about 3 years ago… It definitely has increased since then but has leveled off for the most part. As mentioned before, the big players are going to be greenie companies since everyone’s riding the alternate fuels wave. ---

GOOG has had a HELL of a run. I feel the only way to play GOOG at this point is using OPTIONS!!! Limit downside risk. Sell contracts before expiration when you hit nice pops and rake in some cash money. e.g. [http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=GOOG&m=2009-01](http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=GOOG&m=2009-01) Look at the out of the money calls. They are insanely valued. Puts too. But the long in the money calls are almost properly valued. ---

But if you had a “Self-Directed” account then you would be able to play this game. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-is-everyones-401k-doing/194962.md?page=2)
