Answer
Rob,
Sorry I don't know when the google ipo is slated for.  I don't follow ipos.  In general they are terrible times to invest.  You will be getting it when the excitement is at its peak.  If you must own google I suggest you buy a little asap and then wait to see what happens.  Likely there will be much better buying opps within 6 months.  But the big thing to look for in the prospectus is when the lockup period expires. That is when insiders are permitted to sell their shares on the open market.  That selling pressure normally causes price drops.  Remember the insiders got their shares for pennies and they are eager to get some hard cash when the are allowed.
Hope this helps,
Murray
