Google Goes Public at $85/share
adpowers writes "It is official. Google will have its IPO debut at $85 per share. To quote the article, 'At that price, the low end of its recently revised range, Google raised $1.67 billion, with $1.2 billion to go to the No. 1 Internet search engine and $473 million to Google executives and investors selling their shares.' Trading begins Thursday, August 19th." Got Google?
I am exchanging every single share of SCO I own for Google. In your face, Darl!
I for one, welcome our new non-income-generating, but VC-attracting overlords. Where do I get my Aero chair?
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
How long before these hit ebay?
Does that mean the search results will start to suck beacause the engine gets fat and lazy, sitting around all day smoking pot. I know I would if I had 1.2 billion dollars. Maybe they should put the engine on an allowance to keep it honest.
Anyone else see the irony of linking to the Google index from finance.yahoo.com ?
No? Just me.
... you have to feel sorry for the employees of Google, if they take their share options now they have to choose - the flash cars _or_ the holiday home in Aspen, not both...
:-]
It must be so demoralising for them
Jaj
In no way bitter.....
Are we sure these aren't beta shares like gmail? Anyone have a stock invite to share?
Recipes for geeks -- no meatloaf, we promise.
It is rather disenchanting, isn't it? The whole thing has left me discombobulated.
I like to keep all my favorite tech company's stock certificates on my computer lab wall.
That's actually a good idea. Once a company goes down -- and they all do -- you've got a nifty mousepad within reach.
At least, that's what I'd do with that kind of money. That and loose women.
Isn't that what the "I feel lucky" link is about? :-P
someone gets +3 informative for telling us what day it is.
"I am actually disinfranchised..."
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Where do I get my Aero chair?
This was the stock auction. The bankruptcy auction isn't for another few months, at least.
Weren't you alive five years ago? =)
I love the way it says "Did you mean: good shares "
By integrating MSN search to the "search" feature, Microsoft can theoretically blur the lines between the Internet and the local PC.
You are forgetting MS is now officially a monopoly. Their legal problems have changed the way they do business. They can't be as nasty as they used to be.
