Two of Google's big early investors, the storied Silicon Valley venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital, decided to withdraw their combined 4.5 million shares from the auction early yesterday, betting they can get a better price at some point in the future.

An estimated 950 to 1,050 of Google's nearly 2,300 employees are paper millionaires.

WE will see how long that last.

Sellers at this level will be buyers later at much higher levels. ;)

"People can pick on the IPO all they want. Google got more for their company than any other internet IPO in history.

It was a success."

Seems the media I have been following are giving it a mixed bag, and emphasizing the original pricing trust issue. I would say it wasnt a disaster, hence it was a success. Good one to watch, who believes there shares are worth that much? It will be interesting when all those that couldnt sell start flogging there shares aswell. The success of this wont be based on one days trading. Well done to those that made a profit.

"Agreed - Hey Google bought my house :) "
And the rest :) So in this respect good luck to them.

Just a note (at least for people in Australia) not to give advice to any people regarding this stock or any others due to insider trading. ASIC is very particular about these things.

Thanks.
