Google stock set to fall?

Weekly financial newspaper Barron's posted a warning during the weekend saying that Google stocks are "overvalued and poised to fall" in a similar fashion to what happened to online companies Amazon.com and eBay in past years.

The news came just a week after Google had broken the $500 a share barrier which raised some eyebrows in the financial community. Barron's admittedly was skeptical about Google's stock back when it was valued at $360 (today's trading closed at ~$485), however they may have a strong case today when their stock is being valued at 37 times next year's expected earnings. Perhaps even more important than that, Google has kept its image of a raising star thanks to booming growth rates, however it will prove difficult to maintain that pace in the years to come.

Haha so now everyone will sell their stocks and Google stocks WILL plummit (if majority sell).

Although it doesn't necessarily work that way, it's still one of the risks involved with Google shares at this moment with such a high price per single share.
