All this fretting is over nothing. There is no real threat that has been posed to the company by Reyer’s comments. The stock will recover and continue to rise (perhaps not at such an astronomical rate), in the following days.

Am I the only person on this planet who is completely baffled by the value of Google?
Am I understanding this correctly… a company, whose only contribution to the world is a SEARCH ENGINE, is somehow worth $390 PER SHARE?
I could live my entire life without ever “Googling” anything… Google is damned near WORTHLESS to me… I certainly wouldn’t PAY to use it. Besides there a couple of dozen other search engines that do just as well.
FOOD is valuable. MEDICINE, yup. EDUCATION, surely. TEACHERS, MINERS, even STREET SWEEPERS… but a SEARCH ENGINE??????
Is this world NUTS?
