Place Your Bets: Google Reaches $2000 or TechCrunch Sells for $100M?

While you were working, an interesting exchange happened over the blogosphere. It seems TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington and Silicon Alley Insider’s Henry Blodget are having a war of words.
You might ask what this has to do with internet marketing, but I think you’ll find the exchange of interest.
First up, Blodget put up his thoughts on Google’s share price hitting $2000, giving it a market cap of $750+ billion.
Then Michael Arrington decided to voice his disdain for Blodget and his reckless valuation.
Not long after, Blodget blogged that he believed TechCrunch could sell for more than $100 million, possibly to CNET.
Lastly, Arrington (with tongue in cheek) took back his criticism of Blodget.
So, which do you think is more likely to happen? Google will reach $2000 a share, or TechCrunch will sell for $100+ million?

TechCrunch for $100M, hands down.

I predict google will hit 2000 per share within 5 years.

@Dean - I’ll record it in HD!
@Dan - I’d go with that. Assuming no stock split.

Isn’t Google already at $2,000? Seems like every time I turn around their stock reaches a new high.
It’s a tough call since both seem out of immediate reach, but at some point I assume at some point Google stock could get to $2k (assuming no stock split). How soon I’d have no idea and my guess is the stock would split before hitting $2k.

I think Tech Crunch will reach to $100M+ due to its sole popularity in the blogosphere….
