    Google worth £44Billion......

    Absolutely stunned at that figure... seems truely mammoth compared to the money it actually makes... (3.2$billion in sales)

    I still don't understand the stockmarket but damn google is popular.

    yes, and its nigh on impossible to buy google shares. I believe they came on the market at $85-ish, which is quite a bit. how much are they now?

    edit: almost $300...so in less than 12 months its 300%!

    Its based on market capitalisation. And personally I dont think its maintainable or realistic based on their value to sales ratio. On the other hand, if I owned Google stock right now, I'd think i'd sell.
