While I don't dispute your points I will challenge them with this.
1. We didn't see any sort of commensurate move in the options markets today and for the most part the option activity in this stock has been relatively quiet over recent months.
2. As another poster mentioned a few weeks back, initially he also didn't believe my theory about this many moons ago, only to learn later that I believe its msft that owns the largest hedge fund in the world (may be wrong that its msft, but it was a tech giant).
3. Google wouldn't report such trades as it would be against sec regulations.
4. When I say google, I imply perhaps Page himself, Brin who knows but via a hedge fund that google may own, is heavily invested in or heavily invests in google. Clearly, conversations over a beer are had many times amongst ceo's and their investors. No one can track it no one cares most likely since its small potatoes.
5. You seem like you understand risk well. Do tell me, where do you see the hedged position today in the marketplace, there wasn't one, this is my point.
Happy to be proven wrong but we certainly don't see the option activity you suggested.
