I saw this happening with Yahoo a while back, and this week it happened with Google. The stock rose from 185 to 225 this week on the basis of the strength of its online advertising, which increased the company's revenue slightly upwards. Like 5 times what it had been previous quarter last year.

People couldn't believe that Google was worth what it was worth at its IPO, which was about 100.

This is the most fascinating business story of our generation: whether Google can grow *past* its development of a great algorithm for internet searching, into a continuing enterprise that repeats its search engine success in other ways.

They are hiring the best and brightest critical thinkers/problem solvers - people who relentlessly pursue problems.
