The problem with Google this year is basically the same one being faced by Apple, Sndk, oil stocks. Google is out there with negative surprises and that can't be good, at least in the near term. The stock just up strong in 2005. Very hard to repeat that without big positive surprises. There is just too much in profits to protect for a lot of investors; not worth taking a risk for the next 20% or so....this year. One is better off with a stock like RIMM that has not moved for a couple of years. Lots of growth but held up due to legal issues. That is how I compare the last years winners to this year's potential gainers. Look at oil stocks with such low PEs and oil over $60. Why can't these go up another 50% with those valuations. Same answer....large profits to protect (at least in the first half of the year). Best to look for this years gainers elsewhere OR at the very least hedge long positions on Google with some puts.
