Today, Google did for stock prices what I was never able to do in bowling.  It hit that magic 300 level, and as of just a few minutes ago, it was several points under that mark.

Anything that goes up over 700% in such a short time is bound to revert to trendline sooner or later.  Google IPO’d at $85 not to long ago, and it eclipsed the $700 mark several times in October 2007.  It just goes to show you that gravity is still alive.  It was alive for the dot-com bubble, it’s alive of the still unwinding real estate bubble, and combined energy and commodity bubbles, and it’s now hit Google.

Congratulations, Google!  In honor of your special sub-300 day, I have decided to leave your ads off this post.

But for those wanting a more detailed view on bubbles, and gravity, check out the following:

And for those who came for bowling advice, I’ll direct you to Criticalmas - Change My Pitch Up - Bowling Night.  In the article, MAS recommends several tips for bowling a better game, including number 5 on the list, “Get lane with gutter bumpers”.  Hmm… Perhaps Google needs some bumpers to protect them from advertising declines.
