I don't think the stock price is the relevant measure. Looking at market caps, $43B for Bidu v $198B for GOOG, makes me wonder. The Chinese economy is $6 trillion while the US is $14.7 trillion. But Google isn't confined to the US. It also dominates search in Western Europe and I think Japan. Ashley

what does value mean. bidu sells at 80 pe while goog 23 pe. value as to growth of stock.. has outpaced goog in the last two years. potential both i believe have excellent growth outlook. bidu also has competition coming after it. i believe there are a couple of other search engines that are also gaining share. any of of these could come up with tech. that throws bidu into a spin. on the other hand with goog out of china and growth like it is the expections for bidu to continue to throw up huge growth numbers make me want to stay in bidu vs goog. on the other hand i hold both stocks.
