Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours

egoff writes "Google has put off an IPO for now, saying "Thus far, laziness has always won out. There are so many better things to do." The New York Post suggests that Google's focus on R&D doesn't really mesh with the financial accountability of a publicly traded company. However, many analysts believe a successfully Google IPO could rejuvenate Internet-company investments."

Quite the opposite. The investors would love to can the current employees and replace them with Indians to increase profits.

Its about the CEO getting a big fat check.

I personally think it would be a mistake to go public. Investors are crazy and expect companies to grow by %20 annually or quarterly if this company is doing well indiffinetly! This is impossible to maintain. A fast company like McDonalds is different since they can just keep creating restuarants to make bigger profits but a search engine is quite limited in how it can grow.

Its not how rich a company is but how much richer it can get in the IPO world.

Very unlike Google.
