I didn't quite believe that it was a "chinese" curse, or even an "arabic" curse, which was the rumor I heard. I also tend to view NY Post speculations with a grain of salt (though I do like their sports coverage.) It's difficult to tell what impact that warrant will have. We know that if there is an IPO that the present owners of Google will likely keep fairly large percentages of the business. If 1.9 million shares is valued at $22 million dollars, and the projection IPO might raise many times more than that, then 1.9 million shares might not be a very large piece of the whole thing at all. We'd probably have to look at the actual agreement to get a better sense of what's going on. Thanks for the origin of that quote.
