Trading Google Options on Goldman's Upgrade

Sounds like a giddy group of Google investors. Google will never get within 100 points of it's all time high...ever!

Are you saying we CAN sue MS when Excel calcs wrong (it does sometimes) or when Access corrupts a series of tables (happens a lot) or other things like that? My understanding is that we are on our own when this stuff occurs.

Data loss is different than the example you just gave. Imagine one year's worth of email missing?

Nice try, though!

BTW

GoogleApps users have ZERO ability to sue Google for ANY data loss due to Google server actions.

A GoogleApps sales person told me that Google has never lost any data for any customer and there is nothing to worry about because Google will never lose data.

But Google will never give customers an SLA telling them they cannot sue Google for data loss.

Google is not customer-centric!

Never has been. Never will be.

I don't discount anything the author mentioned. We have been selling MSFT products to our small business customers since Windows 3.1.

MSFT products are not the most dynamic or the easiest to learn, but now ALL of MSFT office products are the DEFAULT STANDARD for both Enterprise and SMB market.

On the other hand, GoogleApps/Docs are interesting and cute, but certainly not ready for Enterprise PrimeTime. We resell Postini and GoogleApps. Postini rocks because people are screaming for email security to protect their Exchange servers.

GoogleApps suck because nobody is asking for an online word processing/spreadsheet application.

Leap into Google with Option Call Spreads

Google stock price will never close over $500 again in our lifetime.

The best performance for GOOG shareholders is in the rear view mirror!

Bookies Favor Apple for a Twitter Buyout

Apple isn't stupid enough to purchase a passing fad like Twitter!

Google Won the Search War When It Became a Verb

Google is the very best at paid search.

Google doesn't do anything else well!

Why Advertising Is Failing on the Internet

This is the first person on SeekingAlpha that speaks while having both feet planted onto terra firma!

Microsoft and Yahoo: It's Not Love, It's Google

MSFT a one trick pony with operating system? Hmmm...Interesting comment.

MSFT sells $70B worth of application software such as office. GOOG has sold $5M worth of GoogleApps.

MSFT a one trick pony? Hardly! But then GOOG is THE one trick pony with paid search because GOOG has NO other part of their company that generates ANY other source of revenue and profits.

Microsoft vs. Google: Battle of Epic Proportions

FoolishChild sounds awfully similar to a full time Googler!

There isn't a business ANYWHERE in the USA that considers email to be anything other than a mission critical business application.

Email is still the NUMBER ONE reason for businesses to run on the internet.

So please, go back to your Google office and recreate another business plan.

Google's Search Share Drops 0.5%, So What?

This author certainly sounds like a Google long investor. Glad to see he has verified his position. I have had both long and short positions with Google since the IPO in 2004.

I see no reason to own Google stock until management can wean itself away from paid search in a meaningful manner.

YouTube, GoogleApps, et al need to contribute both revenues and profits before GOOG stock ever sees $400 per share price.

Only One Search Engine's Future Shows an Uptrend

Google's continued strength in paid search is nothing less than unbelievable.

Google's inability to generate revenues and profits for ANY OTHER product or service it provides is equally nothing less than unforgivable!

Google's management team outside of paid search is worthless!

Top 10 Online Video Sites: YouTube Dominates, Hulu on the Rise

When will Google actually monitize YouTube? To date, YouTube is just another aquisition FLOP for Google.

Name any Google aquistion or in house produced product/service OTHER THAN PAID SEARCH that is financially successful?

With Tasks, Google Raises Stakes Against Outlook

Google Apps will never be a serious threat to Microsoft. Google does paid search ads very well. Everything else, not so much!

Google Was Only 3 Hours from Being Charged with Monopoly

So the truth has been revealed and the most senior of manangement teams within Google have been lying to shareholders.

The monopoly moniker is bad for business and Google blinked...big time!

Good for the DOJ!
