Choosing Google Stock Price

July 30th, 2009 | admin | forex educational

In August 2004, Google stock prices started out at only $85 per share. That time many analysts debated whether or not Google was really worth it.

Google value was intellectual property instead of real property, and that time the market was not ready to the idea how an online companies can be so on demand and valuable.

Long story short, there is absolutely no reason to debate about this anymore, since Google stock price is 5 times its initial value and 5 years later the company has the market value of $175 billion dollars.

Can you imagine, Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day and even doubled within 3 months and that is absolutely impressive.

Lots of analysts are still debate the value of Google company, but now it’s more a matter how quickly it will grow and how much more. Many investors in the Australian stock market also join in this debate.

Obviously the early growth was unrealistic and unsustainable, but over the past few years the company has settled into a more traditional growth pattern with exception of the recession which has been detrimental to the entire tech sector and the entire marketplace.

No stock comes with a guarantee, but investors have shown that they are confident that Google is a solid, reliable company that is not likely to significantly lose value, at least not relative to the market as a whole.

Find Google stock price at anytime by going to any search engine, especially Google.com, by typing the company’s exchange symbol, “Goog”. There you will see the up to date Google stock price easily. Not only Goog, there you will also see Nasdaq futures.

It is also important to note that there are two types of Google stock, Preferred and Common. Preferred stock prices are traditionally higher because these stock holders are paid dividends before dividends are distributed to all the common stock holders. Both types have voting rights.
