I totally get the logic of what this person is saying, but when I went and looked at the chart, it sure looks bullish. Who knows, right?

I have been using Groupon for the past month. I am actually impressed with the Groupons they are sending me via email. But it's obvious that they need to make their site searchable to increase sales. I have some specific deals I am looking for that others told me about, but I can't find them because the Groupon site does not currently provide search. But, they are testing search in New York and Chicago, and promise it for the entire U.S. That could be big news for this stock, as the sales are bound to increae when people can search for Groupons. It also would make them more of a takeover candidate.

What is so stupid about Google wanting Groupon? They already wanted them 2 years ago for $6 billion, when Groupon was a fraction of its size and just a busines model. Now, Groupon is a proven company that has grown tremendously. Google may look at Groupon and think that with all their users and their search knowhow, they could make Groupon run more efficiently, reach more people, and provide extensive search capabilities for those looking for Groupons. Actually, a company like Yahoo should take over Groupon to make themselves relevant again.
