In August 2004, Google stock prices started out at only $85 per share. That time many analysts debated whether or not Google was really worth it.

Google value was intellectual property instead of real property, and that time the market was not ready to the idea how an online companies can be so on demand and valuable.

Long story short, there is absolutely no reason to debate about this anymore, since Google stock price is 5 times its initial value and 5 years later the company has the market value of $175 billion dollars.

Can you imagine, Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day and even doubled within 3 months and that is absolutely impressive.

Lots of analysts are still debate the value of Google company, but now it’s more a matter how quickly it will grow and how much more. Many investors in the Australian stock market also join in this debate.

Obviously the early growth was unrealistic and unsustainable, but over the past few years the company has settled into a more traditional growth pattern with exception of the recession which has been detrimental to the entire tech sector and the entire marketplace.

Many investors has a great confident on Google stocks even though no stocks comes with guarantee, but as a reliable company, Google is not likely to lose value significantly, at least not like any other market as a whole.

You can find Google’s up to date stock price at any time by searching using company’s symbol “GOOG”. Not only Goog, there you will also see Nasdaq futures.

Note that Google has two types of stocks, that is Common and Preferred. Usually Preferred stock prices are higher since the holders are paid dividends before they are distributed to all the common stock holders. However, both of them have voting rights.
