It dropped further, of course, but now I am sitting on a tidy profit :-) I bought GOOG when it dropped – got in at $405. It dropped further, of course, but now I am sitting on a tidy profit :-)

It's not exactly aimed at me (it appears I've slipped out of the 20-something demographic without noticing), but I'm finding it very interesting and digestible. Anyway, I've got a question you might be able to answer. On this chart: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=3m&s=GOOG&l=off&z=l&q=l&c=YHOO" rel="nofollow">http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=3m&s=GOOG&l=off&z=l&q=l&c=YHOO</a> why do Google and Yahoo appear to match each other? Naively, I would expect that what is good for one would be bad for another, and that as one rises the other would fall. Clearly I'm wrong, but why? Hi, I discovered your blog a few days ago.

I'm not a big fan of Google, but I'm going to ride the wave for as long as I can. I don't think they'll start disappointing the Street just yet.

Pretty much every time the NIKKEI, S&P, FTSE etc rises, you get "NIKKEI ends the day up on bargain-hunting". If the market is down, "NIKKEI ends the day down on profit-taking".

It has a high earnings multiple for its cost. It's just adjusting to what it should be at. It has never been an undervalued stock since it was established. The stock went up because of speculation in growth of earnings per share and the multiple was too high for its earnings. the stock is a bit too expensive in my opinion.
