I don't normally talk about stocks here and don't construe this as advice, though I sure wouldn't recommend taking the opposite side. I love the company, love the product, but I also loved Netscape, love Apple, and love Nintendo. Don't mistake great products for market dominance, especially in a world with Bill Gates.

So, my stock trade o' the day: Short GOOG @ 119 1/2 99.47. (Edit: Dammit. My broker told me it would open much higher. Time to look for one with a better pulse!)

I'm already in the money on this onejust a bit out, but still confident that it will finance my retirement.
