Paul, there is almost always pressure on a stock that is buying out another stock. GOOG is down because of the Yahoo deal. They are estimating that advertising will double over the next 5 years. Yahoo I believe has about 19% of the market v/s GOOG 66%. The reason GOOG is down around 500 is because of the threat that Microsoft has the money to push this and take away from GOOG percentage. GOOG is down about $100 over this. I'm long on GOOG at $519. I'm sure it will come back to the $570-$590 in the near future. If Microsoft gets away with this who knows what they may be able to do with their operating systems and softwares. I know GOOG is trying to get ATT to take a look at this Yahoo deal for one. GOOG isn't afraid of competition unless it's Microsoft. It could take awhile for the stock price for Microsoft to see the effects on the price. Their isn'that much of a decrease in price since the announcement. These are my opinions on what I've read. Good Luck with your decision................ ART
