my stocks

I'd like Google (GOOG), Activision Blizzard (ATVI), and Netflix (NFLX).

If any of these aren't appropriate for our purposes, please let me know.

Google, a small web search company that you might've heard of, has recently been pursuing an advertising partnership with Yahoo. They recently bought a Korean blogging company, TNC, and have added "follower" features to their current web-based blogging software. One news columnist says that this kind of community creation put Google "On a Collision Course with MySpace and Facebook." Google is also about to release the much anticipated Android phone.

Activision Blizzard is set to release the second World of Warcraft expansion in November. The company releases Guitar Hero World Tour in late October. Barron's recently predicted that game "Game Sales May Power Up After Slump."

Netflix has recently secured permission to run applications on the Yahoo site. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, an institutional investor, just doubled its stake in the company.
