THanks for your reply. Interesting post to read. If what you say is true, ie GOOG never interested in NEOM etc, then it probbaly reconfirms my gut feelings all along. I simply could never see it happening. Now, given you have been out of GOOG for 2 years, and I have NEVER been IN GOOG, who knows what their strategy is for 2009/2010. I know you still are in touch with GOOG people as you say, but I am sure they are all honest people with integrity and would not divulge sensitive information about GOOG developments outside of the Company. Feel free to tell me if Im mistaken.

I feel the truth lies somewhere between your post and the strongly Pro-NEOM posts here. To be honest, I am tired of hearing the "we will be millionaires" banter when we are still only 1.5c after all this good news. Lots of people have seen the good news are not (yet) impressed enough to jump on board. Perhaps they too are cautiously watching, and waiting for revenues. SAdly, NEOM management of the past have had a knack of snatching failure from the jaws of success and despite having a new management team in place, the stigma remains.

Finally, nothing in your post IMO is worthy of delete, so I would be disappointed if it was.

So, do you own NEOM. And do you see any reason why people should?

Thanks

[...over 2 years ago the company decided an acquisition was not necessary. And NEOM was not even on the list, mostly due to a misunderstanding Street caused.]

Honestly, you need to stop trying to pin a billion-dollar company's decision not to acquire another company on something that one person not even associated with the company said. That makes absolutely no business sense whatsoever. And I don't need an MBA to know that.
