bigger than XOM, which in a year makes $25 BILLION in profits (perhaps a lot more this year), or almost 3x the entire current size of the internet advertising market.

I said it *might* go to 1500, but thanks for the extreme effect, its kind of like shouting fire in a crowded theatre... maybe some who don't know me will incorrectly think I'm a wacko, huh?

I notice you say nothing about my 600 prediction... what, no fireworks for that?

Trying to rationalize valuations using only market cap, when a company is on target to make $10 per share and is growing at a 50-100% clip seems like a losing proposition to me. If GOOG makes 25 bucks per share and is growing at a 30% clip it will be valued at 50-60 times earnings, no matter what the market cap. Is it possible that goog ever makes $25/share, given that I believe $10 in 07 is an easy mark to hit? Yes I think it is possible that Goog makes $25 per share one day... I'd give it 20% odds.

Will goog ever make $15 per share? Absolutely, no question in my mind. $15*50 = $750, $15*60 = $900.

All of this is without the alternative revenue streams which I know are coming, too. I am not always so positive on the new up and coming hot company, but this recession was unlike any other I know of, in that it took out every promising upstart as well as the mature declining companies like sun. Goog was all that was left.
