Google IPO Open for Registration

Jon Shoberg writes "Google IPO is open for bid registration. From the front page: 'A registration statement relating to Google's Class A common stock has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. Google's Class A common stock may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of Google's Class A common stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. No offer to buy shares of Google's Class A common stock can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the registration statement has become effective, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time until the notice of acceptance is sent after the effective date. Of the shares to be sold in Google's initial public offering of Class A common stock, 14,142,135 shares will be issued and sold by Google and 10,494,524 of the shares will be sold by the selling stockholders.'"

"Hi! Like, we're Google, and we have totally told the SEC that we want to be on the stock market! Ohmygosh! Totally! We're not doing it yet, just like Marsha Mrady, but we will soon! Now, we're not like telling you to buy our stock, but if you really want to, you can totally do it soon! For sure! We're gonna sell, like, 14 million shares, and our totally groovy people who already have, like, 10 million shares, are going to put it all up! This is so cool!
