Wow! The news on the Google earnings has been amazing. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/051020/earns_google.html?.v=5 for starters. Feels like 1999 again which must be making everyone nervous :)

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said Thursday that it made $381.2 million, or $1.32 per share, during the three months ended in September. [...] If not for charges related to a recent acquisition and employee stock options issued before the company went public 14 months ago, Google said it would have earned $1.51 per share. That figure easily exceeded the consensus estimate of $1.36 per share among 31 analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. Even the most bullish analysts hadn't expected Google to fare as well as it did; the highest earnings estimate had been $1.46 per share.

Thanks Google, you're a fun stock to hold... A real roller coaster anyway :)
