Well I figure gettin in on the first day or two of the public release has got to be a sure thing, eh?

The Hype alone should provide a decent little profit - post IPO or not...

I thought the exact same thing when Yahoo went public, and If I'd have put my money where my mouth was I'd be semi-retired right now.

Well i'll skip this one as well - and I know i'll kick myself in a year or two about it - but I don't have an extra penny to spare...

Does anyone have any knowledgable reason / advice for why to not get in on this virtual Gravy Train?

Look up the "dot-com bust" and that should help. WHile google is popular, it ahs no real sales vehicle like yahoo or e-bay.

Invested in 1998 and 2 years later you would have been able to retire. As a matter of fact many of the rich people here that live along the Colorado river and on Lake Travis are people from Cali and other places that were normal workers that heavily invested in Yahoo and Dell and other companies at the right time. We are talking people in their 30's and 40's that are millionaires.

I doubt you will be able to retire off the IPO of Google, but you might make a buck or two. The next arena for the tech and dot.com boom will be India and China. IMO, it's why we are giving them technology and outsourcing so much, the rich want them to get their infrastructure in place as quick as possible so the stocks go way up. The normal Indians and Chinese are just like us, remember how much fun the internet was when we first learned it? It was addictive and we could not get enough of it. It will be the same for them.
