yeah good luck on that...they've already exploded enough to the point any stock of theirs is already expensive as hell.

I remember back in 10th grade some kid did a report and he said he searched it on google....at the time I just thought 'google!? WTF is that nonsense!?"

ahhhh how I wish I would have been able to convince my parents to buy stock then

Except you couldn't have, because Google was a privately owned company then. It only went public recently (2004 I think), and thus shares were expensive from the start.
