Breaching Google's 'moat'
Fascinating analysis of the Quigo-AOL deal by Avner Mandelman over at The Globe & Mail.
I wasn't tracking the data, but Avner points out some interesting numbers:
- November 5th, 2007 - the Quigo/AOL deal was first announced
- November 6th, 2007 - Google shares hit their all-time high - $741
- Since then Google shares are down ~37% to $471
Coincidince? Probably for the most part yes.... there are so many big factors in play here and I doubt Quigo is the most significant one. But it's still a pretty cool coincidince nevertheless...
What a shame, they could buy 50 Quigos with this loss...
