Google Stock Price Tips & Guide

June 28th, 2009

Many analysts debated when Google stock price started out at an initial public offering for only $85 per share back in August 2004.

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.

The initial climb was the most impressive as the Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day, and then doubled within the next three months.

Analysts still debate the value of the company but it is more a matter of how much more it will grow and how quickly. 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.

The up to date Google stock price can be found at any time by searching using the company’s exchange symbol “GOOG.” 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.
