Ambiguity Drives Google's Valuation

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-want-a-cfo dept.

BreadMan writes "The Economist has an article about how Google uses its amorphous positioning to gain investor interest. At the current valuation (the P/E is north of 110) this is a winning formula, but the article questions the long-term soundness. The reporter was chagrined that the last press tour focused more on the CFO (Chief Food Officer) and the monthly pasta consumption (500 lbs) than products or financial performance of the company."

      If you read the article, you'd know that they use 3 pounds of coffee beans for every pound of pasta. No wonder they're so productive, they never sleep!
