Google Earnings Revised Downward, But It Still Looks Good for 2009

I definitely agree that there is very little the company needs to do to provide excellent returns for investors. That seemed pretty obvious when I updated my analysis from a couple of years ago where I used FCF multiples:

With the way the company pumps out cash a pull-back on CapEx (even in a no-growth scenario) makes GOOG a very attractive stock right now.

If JSDA reaches $1.20 in earnings by 2008 they will not be trading at 20x earnings. That kind of growth would attract too much attention and you would likely be looking at 40 times earnings at a minimum. You only need to look at the history of companies like SBUX or PNRA which trade into the 60's at various times. It's a high risk-high reward investment which warrants a position in the higher risk portion of a portfolio (if you believe their products will not just be a fad).
