GOOG is due to hit the market in the next hour or so. The initial price has been set at $85. Any estimates as to where it will close for the day?

I really have no idea what this stock is going to do, but I think $85 still might be a bit steep for this market. I'm going to say it ends the day at $79. I may revise that once shares start changing hands. ; )

Hmmmm, oil is pricey and Google needs crude to feed their robots. But their robots are smart, so I'm going to say it'll close at $91.

A few trades just went off when they shouldn't have. Google is still on hold, but the trades that were processed put Google at $140.

Trading is officially open. Up 15% at 98.

It's getting up there man, 22%. Sigh, I feel like I'm missing out. Too bad it had to go public the day BEFORE I get paid. :)

Nah, yer not missing out. It opened at $100.15, it's not like anyone was paying $85 for it.

Are we the only two people who use this site now? ; )

Did you guys see how much it was trading for on the Iowa Electronics Market's futures market?

Yeah, I'd buy shares of John Kerry instead.

Way overpriced. Wait for the fall.
