At its current price, Google is vastly overpriced. The current P/E ratio is very high at 40+, and the company is yet to prove itself by paying dividends. Google isn't even well known: everytime I type the word 'Google' into the computer, a red dotted line appears below the word. of course, this never happens with more attractive Microsoft and Yahoo competitors.
