Subject: Why am I losing so much on Google?
So I started investing as a little hobby into 10 stocks of Google in
May of this year.  While other stocks have performed well, as we speak
Google is at -41%.  But unlike other stocks which have often seen
terrible press (i.e. banks) Google has only (as far as I can tell)
been receiving favorable press and doing pretty much the right
things.  So what's up?  Why am I losing so much on Google?

you should probably set 8% as a threshold limit to get out of a stock,
and buy back in when conditions have changed. Google down is a
reflection of the general economy being down and less demand for
advertising. they will come back, but when is the issue. Now is not
the time for any margin positions though.

Peter,

People like to play with this stock, and Wall Street likes to punish
it for any reason because Google doesn't offer guidance. Everyone
likes to take a pot shot at the big boy on the block. Google is flush
with cash, a great company, but it met its match with Wall Street who
likes to think that they know more than anyone about there business.

Two reasons:
1. The price of a share and the performance of a company are only
correlated in the long run.
2. In general, a P/E-Ratio of 25 or more may indicate a bubble or at
least that the share is very expensive. Now, P/E is around 22.5, which
is still expensive.

Never expect the market to react rationally to any press or news for a
particular stock either.
