Why Google's $300+ Stock Price?
Catching up on my sky-high backlog of USA Today, I found an interesting article on Google's $300+ stock price. As of July 14, only nine stocks had share prices over $300.
Why hasn't Google split its stock? Why haven't the nine other companies? The article discusses those points.
One side effect of the high stock price that I've felt:
And while a stock price in itself is meaningless, Google is clearly sending a message to investors by not splitting. "If you go back to Google's prospectus, it says Google is not a conventional company and does not intend to become one," says Jay Ritter, professor of finance at the University of Florida.

Google Does It Again: Real-Time Stock Quotes
Google has done it again... they now offer real-time stock quotes. This, to me, is huge! Hundreds of web sites will give you stock quotes, but they are all 15 or 20 minutes delayed.
Yahoo, for example, charges $9.95 a month for this service.
Wow.
