I don't see how anyone who isn't a multi-millionaire could physically give that much money to charity...

Honestly, I'd spend that money on myself or my family to better our lives because I don't have the luxury or the financial security to worry about being "generous"...

You're probably right. Heck, they've grown in every quarter so who's to know where they'll stand in a year from now. Still, it's rather speculative and the money that you'll put in is on the higher side. Yes, you can gain but yes you can lose big.

I'd rather invest in something where I'm confident that my principle will not be lost. For most investors this is the case. If you have money to lose than invest in Google. If you're looking for a cushion for the upcoming years then find stock that is low and has growth potential.

Which sounds like a wonderful idea until you're broke. The flight out of Vegas has a lot of sad people on it, at least that's what I hear.

FAR from in the hole, plus didn't you just say to invest in Google? Google has room to grow.
