Google Q4 Profit Nearly Triples
- By: The Founder [privmsg - website] On 31st Jan 2007 In
Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) fourth-quarter profit nearly tripled amid another burst of breathtaking growth that enabled the online search leader to sprint past analyst expectations -- a habit that has helped propel its stock price above US$500.

Click Fraud Hitting the Roof My @ss
I'm quite sure Google know just how much extra money they can make with various tweaks and such to their technology and are withholding with a long-term plan to stagger them thus to show great and constant growth for quarters, quarters and more quarters to come.
It would be a bit disastrous to improve so much in one quarter that they were unable to show/sustain growth, I imagine?
Well that's my theory, anyway.

Click fraud since January 2005
Ever since they missed the 4Q 2004 earnings estimates, GOOG has been engaged in deals w/ mafiosa like orgs, or so goes the blackhat talk.
General search engine trends follow ask and yahoo. if they fall in profit independent of market share, goog should too.
Stock price drops
I saw an article that in spite of tripling earnings in Q4, the stock price still dropped. I'd have a hard time buying any stock with a P/E ratio as high as Google's.

Um, "if I told you I'd have to kill you". Does that give you a hint?
Actually it's probably three things not the "both" that implies 2.
