When will the "chartists” realize that the basic rule is follow the
money. The markets are money - emotion driven always have been, always
will be. The vast majority of people do not use charts to invest. They
look for returns and safety. Google will have its ups and downs and
like others in this forum who seem to see other less obvious positive
characteristics, I believe it will continue to climb both from its
continued dominance in search and ad placement and from the long view
of the industry. They are an advertiser, newspapers and magazines,
while still here,  they have lost their advertising dominance. The
question is where will it go, will they top off at 800 in a year or
two, then creep up at the rate of inflation? Or will they start
pulling money out of other more unconventional areas. I don’t know, I
do know a little of their culture with business associates who work
there and I am betting on the second postulation, that innovation in
the industry will help them grow. I am in for the long haul, 10 years
at least.
