A commenter in a chat room today challenged my Google vs Disney post where I said I'd buy Disney over Google.  I just wanted to add to that that as of today for the same amount of 1 share of Google ($goog) you could buy 16 shares of Disney ($DIS).  So, for Google to equal the gains of Disney, Google would have to go up $16 to match a $1 move of Disney stock.  While Google does tend to move a LOT, that's quite a huge leap.  To match a $2 move of Disney stock, Google would have to go up $32, so you see, having more shares of Disney, to me, is less risky and a better investment than risking and hoping on huge jumps from Google.
