If Google goes public, will you buy its stock?

Asked in downtown Mountain View. Photos and interviews by Corey Pride.

"No. I don't think I can afford it."
Rosibe Roman, Mountain View

"Probably not. I got burned buying Palm. I don't want to get burned by irrational exuberance."
Mike Ccume, Mountain View

"I think if I were in the position to buy stock, I definitely would. It survived the crash."
Katrina Ptucha, Mountain View

"I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I don't have a lot of cash right now, and I tend to buy diversified."
Eric Nedervold, Mountain View

"If I had any money, I probably would. I know people use it all the time."
Aaron Kerner, Los Gatos
