Even my critical writing about Google, when I don't like what they're doing - never got down to a story like this from Webconnoisseur - Google Closes at 666 - Perhaps They Are Evil

"….Google’s corporate motto is “Don’t Be Evil.” Ironically, their closing stock price today was 666 to the penny. You can take a look yourself any any stock quote tool (use GOOG for the ticker symbol), or check out the Google Finance screenshot below:"

Maybe Google's motto really was "Trying not to be Evil unsuccessfully".  I'm wondering what are the chances that a stock can be exactly worth 666.00 dollars?  Is that like many buildings having no 13th floor?

Dustin Woodard goes on to say:

"…I doubt it is the first time a stock closed at 666.00, but it is certainly more rare as most stocks over the past couple decades split long before they reach that number. Even gold closed at 666.00 early this year. I’m not superstitious, but I’m sure a number of investors taking a look at their stocks tonight will be a bit unsettled."

I'm actually more amused at the story than unsettled - the actual problems in the economy are not coming from Google, but from the Sub-Prime Mortgage Meltdown and the lack of liquidity. 

Of course, if we end up in a Recession, which is looking more and more likely (for all we know, we might be in a Recession already and just not realize it yet) it's probably going to also impact Google, and just about everyone else.
