10 Ways to Bring Down Google’s Share Price (if you still think it is too high)

Based on the Google Slogan:Do not be Evil.

DISCLAIMER If a member of the SEC, or any regulatory body, or Google employee is reading this..its a work in fiction

LEGAL

1) Anti Privacy Lawsuits- Lets pick 10 blonds. Lawsuits from them saying Google enabled people to find out their contact details, and harass them. Trust me its happened to many of us. It has happened to even Google guys themselves.

Okay, make that 5 Blonds and 5 brunettes.

2) Anti Trust Lawsuits- Thats right. This is what happened to Microsoft in the past decade. While the top management is busy attending dull and expensive meetings with the lawyers, they will have lesser time to think about initiatives like Social Networking API’s. Nothing kills creativity faster than an anti trust lawyer.

2) Free Tibet Lawsuits- Hire someone who is an ex Chinese , ex Tibetan dissident. Encourage them to file a lawsuit against Google, saying its efforts to cooperate with the Chinese authorities led to their arrest.

4) Social Networking Lawsuits- A lawsuit against Google, saying there is very little flirting in the Googleplex. So many geeky engineers discussing code….

5) Affirmative Action Lawsuits- Thats right Google hires too few colored software engineers. look it up …………….its true. A statement from Rev Jackson, and a reluctant statement from Obama would help.

POLITICAL

5) Arab nations can be encouraged to boycott Google..

Arabic Rumours like -Eh Abdul, did you know that Google encourages spread of Offensive Danish cartoons…

That means the Middle East suddenly becomes off limits. Thats 20 % of the world market gone……ergo..some impact on stock price.

ENVIRONMENTAL
6) A Boycott Google bonfire

Did we mention that the Company is now buying jets ….and the carbon footprint of it’s ever expanding data centers which have multiple levels of redundancy. The fact is Google data servers consume steady amounts of huge energy.

To enroll bi partisan conservative support, did we mention Al Gore, the Nobel Prize Winner , is a strategic adviser to Google.

An anti global warming protest against a company advised by Al Gore should be fun.

Economic

7) Google earns money through advertisers.

Lets start a click the link satyagraha . Click all Adsense given ads at all websites  .

In the next Quarter Google revenue will suddenly go up.

In the Quarter after that , Google will be busy issuing refund checks to advertisers for this click fraud…. Earnings will contract..and Wall Street will react to shrinking earnings by shrinking the stock price.

Wall Street still has some grudges from the missed opportunities in the Google IPO and fees…..

8. )

Start a movement for giving revenue share not based on clicks but based on actual purchases. It will take them some time to come up with an answer to this.

SOCIAL

9) Help create a better search engine.This is very tough. Thats why its at number 9.

10) Google-is-not-so-cool now. Nothing remains cool forever . Remember when Steve Jobs was cool.Now his fake blog gets more readers.

Google-is-not-so-cool movement

a) helps slow down the Geek hiring machine,Microsoft has been poached more than wild salmon by Google.Ironic considering Google was founded partly in the Paul Allen building in Stanford.

b) This  forces the Google boys to spice up their services starting from the DULL home page. Maybe they will have a separate section for paid searches for business research users.

so these are ten initial thoughts to bring down the share price of Goggle.

Uncle Ben (Bernanke) is doing a good job to bring down the share prices of the rest of the companies.

11 th thought

If Microsoft gives away the  Windows XP (but not Vista ) for free,  and instead places two ads on each desktop in the world run by it., as an option particularly for retail consumers. It will corner all the market for online AND offline new media marketing.

The Plot to Kill Obama :Updated

Barack Obama’s Assasination would pave the way for either McCain or Hillary Clinton to the White House. Neither of them are expected to seriously damage corporate interests , they wont be clamping down on outsourcing American Jobs, they are less likely to cut rebates for wealthy, and less likely to avoid lobbyists from the gun and health pharma lobby. They are less likely to expedite the end of Iraq war, and the tens of billions spent every month that go from tax payers to major corporations is less likely to be threatened by Obama out of the way. So a few people would definitely make serious money if Barack Hussein Obama goes back to his Kenyan family graveyard.

THINK….What would likely happen if someone killed Obama.

The question is - is there a credible plot to kill Obama?

As per today’s NY times -

From the NYT Story DALLAS — There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Senator Barack Obama, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will he be safe?

Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, raised concerns in a letter in January to officials who oversee the Secret Service. While Mr. Obama was already receiving protection, Mr. Thompson said that the intense interest in the election prompted him to make sure that Mr. Obama and the other candidates were offered adequate security.

This means that there is a security threat perceived already.

As per Huffington Post- a recent Obama rally at Dallas had police complain about a security breach, when in order to speed up the queues forming they waved metal detection and frisking for people. And this at a Texas rally , where concealed weapons laws are the most liberal.http://www.star-telegram.com/667/story/486413.html

This means that hectic electioneering and Obama’s popularity , his strengths could be his fatal illness.

Obama seeks to take JFK’s legacy. We hope the corporate interests and interests controlling today’s Washington allow him the chance to do so. Except for the end of course.

Hopefully 2008 wont be like 1968

Update - July 3 2008- An officer guarding Obama’s Motorcade was injured in a collision when a van struck him.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/03/officer-injured-guarding_n_110696.html

On a fast ride Wednesday from the U.S. Air Force Academy to a luxury hotel where Obama was staying and holding a fundraiser, Orvin suffered minor injuries after a van crashed into his motorcycle, which was blocking traffic for the entourage.

Colorado Springs police Sgt. Scott Wisler said the driver of a van was cited for rear-ending the officer.

Politics of Change (and other stuff)

• You know politics is changing if your Senator is better on the internet than you are.
• Its not changing if one candidate first puts the other person in campaign debt of 20 million and then writes a check for 2300 USD , expecting her to campaign.

• You know politics is changing if blogs and You Tube are just as important than newspaper endorsements.
• Its not changing when the internet just spreads rumors at a faster pace.
• You know politics is changing when the North Koreans give up nuclear weapons on their own.
• Its not changing if politicians fight over global warming. Thats called the weather and climate changing.
• You know politics is changing when you have to choose between a black guy and a woman for a President.

• Its not changing if they just do the same old stuff.
• You know politics is changing when people make songs and You tube videos of speeches.
• Its not changing if speeches remain speeches.

Thanks for reading this stuff . Enjoy the change !
