    This photo released by NASDAQ Stock Market Inc., 19 August, 2004, shows Google's George Reyes (L), chief financial officer; Dr. Eric E. Schmidt (2nd-L), chairman of the Executive Committee and CEO; Omid Kordestani (3rd-L), senior vice president Worldwide Sales & Field Operations; Larry Page (C), co-founder and president, Products; Robert Greifeld (2nd-R), NASDAQ president and CEO; and David Drummond (R), Google vice president of Corporate Development at the opening of Google's public offering on the NASDAQ. Google shares soared in a hectic launch on the NASDAQ Thursday, a spectacular comeback from the humiliation of its cut-price initial public offering (IPO). Google, making the biggest Internet float since the 1990s technology bubble, soared 18.0 percent to close at 100.33 USD, valuing the entire company at 27 billion USD. Others are unidentified.
