Google Quarterbacks This Game

 

The risks to this stock are certainly higher at today's price than they were when Google was trading for one-third today's quote. But I continue to believe that Google's on offense, and Microsoft, Qwest, GE and so many other companies are the ones backpedaling.

Hundreds of billions of dollars are at play here, and there will be lots of winners. Google has been and most likely will continue to be one.
