Google
Google was not purchased with much knowledge of the stock market, or fair analysis.
Knowing that Google is a successful company, and will continue to
be on the frontier of its technology seemed a good reason to purchase.
This was a foolish mistake seeing as the current market values of a company do not
directly coincide with the company’s success.
A great deal of a stocks price has to do with what investors are doing.
If there are more investors, the price goes up (bullish) and if lots of investors sell, the stock plummets (bearish).
