LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Google Inc., the world's No. 1 Web search provider, said on Monday its highly anticipated initial public offer could be worth as much as $3.3 billion, pricing its stock in a range that could value the company at more than $36 billion at its opening.
Investors were somewhat startled though, by a price range of up to $135 per Class A share, which would give Google (News - Websites) a valuation, on the basis of its price to 2003 earnings ratio of 329, more than twice the ratio of its closest competitor, Yahoo Inc.. The S&P 500 now trades at a ratio of 18.6 times expected 2004 earnings.
Anyone buying a stock with a P/E ratio of 329 needs to spend more money on a Psychiatrist or less money on Crack
Do you ever get a sickening feeling right after hitting the Submit button? Sometimes you can hit stop then do your correction and then re-hit Submit button; then you get the 2 minute post warning and the sickness sits in, then go hide for a little while...
My rules of investment which are also followed by Warren Batty (or do I follow his rules? ehh I like my wording), is to never short a stock. The most money you can make from a short stock is the current price times the number of share you buy. Meaning that as the company approaches zero, the less likely you are to make more money. See in a regular stock purchase, your highest price approaches infinity because there is no limit to how high the stock can go; therefore, your better off to buy a positive company.
In the case of SCOX, the most you could make is $4.15 per share as of 10:38AM ET.
I find it difficult to believe that this stock price can be maintained
You mean the market capital of Google wont be able to maintain that price right? The Market Cap = the Stock Price * the Number of shares; therefore, the stock price alone dosn't mean reflect the value of the company.
According to the article; Which you're correct the market cap of BA is 39.80B and Google wont be able to keep that for long.:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Google Inc., the world's No. 1 Web search provider, said on Monday it hoped to raise as much as $2 billion in its highly anticipated initial public offering and could have an initial market cap as high as $36.25 billion.
About 24.6 million shares will be sold in the IPO for between $108 and $135, according to an amended prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (news - web sites).

Well maybe 7 out of 8 are good but rules but thats not 100% buyer portection.
Yeah. Never Send Money by any other means then Credit Card.
In Fact, I don't use eBay because eBay's loss protections plan doesn't cover the first $25 of up to a $200 loss REF. That's way more than 10% loss on top. If eBay would stand behind PayPal with 100% security, I might use the service. I can, however, usually buy new cheaper than the auctions - why is that?
Theft of intellectual property is rarely, if ever, part of modifying one's car
Ever hear of a getaway car in context to bank robbers? The car itself was modified in it's original use to do something malicious; therefore, the car itself should be banned accrouding to the rulling.
Making it is illegal to bypass copy protection mechanisms
I have a sharpie that could be used to circumvent the copyright protection. My shift key also would be a violation. The courts won't go after Office Depot or Logitech because you want to go after big fish with money but not enough money to properly defend their selves.
Shouldn't the courts just go after the copyright violators rather than going after all mechanism that could be used to violate copyright? Of course not you know that judge doesn't want to youth playing those nasty region 3+ games; he is doing it for the good of public morals... right?
I read the article and it talked about not soldering exotic chips leaving you to do the surface mount soldering. I have some super tiny chips, being an amateur, the serious question is:
RedHat's automatic update thing at least is almost certainly in violation
That illuminates a perplexing scenario. What if RH wasn't a corporation but a consortium link GNU. Who would get sued for copyright infringements? No one, everyone, or would developers/corporations have a free pass since the body developed a competing but similar solution... Hmm, I now see that software has to be free, free from lawsuits. I must ponder this...
Your correct, I imagine that Steve Ballmer or his one of his children could be the first person to walk on mars. Privatize the mission so the taxpayers don't wring their hands worrying.
So I wonder if the movie IRobot is going to get sued or apple is going to produce a robot like that in the movie.
***** SPOILER for IROBOT ******
In the movie IRobot, a cop chases down a robot that is running through the crowd with a purse. It appears that it's the first case of a robot committing a crime. The cop tackles the robot and the contents of the purse drop out to the feet of a woman whereby she grabs an inhaler the robot was rushing to here to save her life.
***** No more spoiler *****
This would violate the Patent above because the requester need an updated product and it was delivered automatically. Vague Patents Stink.
Comcast has Video on Demand for HD channels and it is included in the monthly service - kindoflike Tivo. I don't think it has HD for pay per view but Pay Per View was $3.99 - quite expensive I usually go to Wally World each Tuesday and pickup new release for $14.83.
What is wrong with having a digital cable receiver? If you want HD you have to have a tuner and just use the one the company lets you use with the service.
Remember in terms of quality, DVD is 480p; HD is either 720p or 1080i - even better than DVD. We should be able to replace current DVD with HD-DVD within 10 years.
Ok mister +5 Informative - you didn't read the article if you're saying that the article said that Mozilla or Netscape isn't at risk so I graciously pasted it for you. So how else could Mozilla be at risk if you never installed ActiveX by the way it is under the tool bar Help -> plugindoc.mozdev.org and the very first link is ActiveX in case you didn't know how to get to that link.
U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE
Thu Jul 1, 7:00 PM ET
The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer.
The Microsoft browser, the government warned, cannot protect against vulnerabilities in its Internet Information Services (IIS) 5 server programs, which a team of hackers allegedly based in Russia has exploited with a Java script that is appended to Web sites.
The particular virus initiated this week inserts Java script into certain Web sites. When users visit those sites, it initiates pop-up ads on home and office computers, and allows keystroke analysis of user information. The target is believed to be credit card numbers. CERT estimated that as many as tens of thousands of Web sites may be affected.
CERT said vulnerabilities in IIS and IE could include MIME-type determination, the DHTML object model, the IE domain/zone security model and ActiveX scripts. Alternative browsers such as Mozilla or Netscape may not protect users, the agency warned, if those browsers invoke ActiveX control or HTML rendering engines.
The only defense may be completely disabling scripting and ActiveX controls.
Microsoft said earlier in the week it is working with law enforcement officials to identify the source of the latest Internet virus.

Also the article attributes part of the problem to IIS and HTML rendering engines or Active X. Mozilla can render HTML right?
Alternative browsers such as Mozilla or Netscape may not protect users, the agency warned, if those browsers invoke ActiveX control or HTML rendering engines
Did anyone RTFM from the Yahoo link. It says at the very bottom that Mozilla is vulnerable too. I use Mozilla myself but it appears that the real culpret is ActiveX which you can install on Mozilla. I don't think this plug in will work on platforms other than windows so it's really a platform issue.
IPv6 is version 6 of the Internet Protocol. IPv6 is intended to replace the previous standard, IPv4, which only supports up to about 4 billion (4 × 109) addresses, whereas IPv6 supports up to about 3.4 × 1038 addresses. This is the equivalent of 4.3 × 1020 (430,000,000,000,000,000,000 which is more than the number of seconds that have past since the big bang) unique addresses per square inch of the Earth's surface.
IPv6 is the second version of the Internet Protocol to be widely deployed, and is expected (as of 2001) to form the basis for future expansion of the Internet. In 2003, Nihon Keizai Shimbun (as cited in CNET Asia Staff, 2003) reported that Japan, China, and South Korea claimed to have made themselves determined to become the leading nations in internet technology, which would partially take the form of jointly developing IPv6, and completely adopting IPv6 starting in 2005.

Google: IPO Could Be Worth $3.3 Billion

So, at $1000 or so a pound... well, you do the math.
Ok, lets do the math:
67TonsPlutonium * 2000lbs/1ton * $1000 = 134,000,000
Not too bad to remove the threat of Plutonium

This is a long and complex story. I dont blame either party but since I'm more intrested/concered in what eBay is doing to thwart crimes.
You are correct. I was tired of typing and was hoping for a jump of faith on my original statement; yours is in better context though.
