Subpoena Resistance Hurts Google Stock

imrec writes "Google stock sees a record 8% decline shortly after news concerning the government's request for Google's search logs broke earlier this week." From the article: "'There are potentially concerns that Google could be in the cross-hairs of the Justice Department,' Kessler said. 'Investors are worried about interest rates and inflation and they felt technology stocks like Google, Apple, Yahoo and others were able to withstand these kinds of pressure. But now that ability is in doubt,'"

All Google needs to do is rename itself to Freedom Search, and all will be well...

Patriot Search

If you feel that using Google is henceforth treason to your government then use Patriot Search [outer-court.com]!

Thanks, your search has been recorded and will be shared with the governments of the world!

Yeah, using /. for stock market advise is about as insightful as using it for pickup/sex tips... In other words it's on par with asking a blonde whore about Linux configuration, yeah.

Their current price is doing a lot to keep small investors out of owning anything but a pittance of Google stock. Does anyone with market knowhow have an explanation for why a company would let it's stock go so high when it will suffer such extremes in value during currnent market fluctiations like right now?

To stop small investors from owning more than a pittance of Google stock.

Dude, I agree with the other two guys who responded to you in this branch of the thread. And you're an asshat.

You said you wanted an ad hominem, right? :-)

Professional analysts don't know anything.

But they can tell you tomorrow why what they predicted yesterday didn't happen today.

No, two years: one for the Rethuglicans to lose control of the Congress, another for the impeachment proceedings of Bush & Cheney to run their course.
