I don’t buy much stock, sure we have a retirement plan, mutuals and a IRA but over the past 20 years from time to time I have purchased stock when I thought a company was a good risk. A nice lady I dated in Japan when I was 20, father, was an Executive at Sony (long story there), and he talked to me about Intel one night when we were out to dinner. He advised me to buy their stock. He gets a bottle of top shelf whiskey every year for Christmas for that advise. This was at a time when I was so green behind the years that I did not have a clue as to what was a good or bad investment by the way the lady I dated now owns a chain of baby clothes stores..
Today as I continue to be amazed at how Google is has grabbed up and controls a significant amount of dark fiber. This brings me to the crux of why I wish that Google would split the stock a few times and make the price come down to a point that would not make my wife cringe when I show her the price.
An article written by Robert Cringley, has me convinced that those of you that have Google Stock better hang on to it because just as Intel was really good to me I think Google is going to get a whole lot better for you. If Cringley’s theory is correct what Google has planned is beyond the scope of what any other company out their is capable of comprehending and will make for some good chatter over the next five years.
I am going to have a lot more to say about this over the next week. Because part of the story is the crux to a issue that has been bugging the heck out of me for a long time. It surrounds a topic that I am going to call Bandwidth Starvation more later on that. Robert Cringley
