Inelasticity in GOOG Stock

Posted in Google, Search, Web 2.0 by Elliott Back on March 9th, 2006.

It was my original hypothesis that GOOG stock would have a certain elastic rebound from the $370 low in late January when they released their Q4 numbers, but a quick glance at their current stock chart on Yahoo shows this is clearly not true:

The bright red line shows the fall after their earnings report, and the light line shows their recovery to date. Immediately after the drop we see some kind of rebound, but not a major one, and not a rally. Wouldn’t people say, “Wow, it’s lower now, let me buy?” Clearly not. Consumers are driven by a wariness at the stock’s artificially high price. I hope the Google major shareholders get out now before it continues to fall. My advice? Try short selling!

  2. the problem about using logic with Google Stock is that it doesn’t follow logic.
