It now seems like a distant memory. Last summer, Google Inc. slashed its asking price for shares in its initial public offering by 30 percent to ＄85 a piece to attract more demand. Who would have thought that 10 months later, the stock of the Internet search engine provider would be closing in on $300 a share? What’s more, many analysts don’t even think that’s where it will top out in the coming months. Docs Google sound like a stock bubble? It’s too soon to tell, but worries over that aren’t doing much to deter investor interest. Since it went public last August, Google has surprised everyone and no one anticipated this kind of bulish response for its stock, however. That’s because investing in Google has risks--they existed when it went public and they continue today.
