Google has just announced that it will use the palindromic "GOOG" as its stock symbol. It also expects its upcoming IPO to fetch $108-$135/share, raising as much as $3.3 billion.

For those of you who entered the Gazette's "Name That IPO" contest, tough luck, as the winner is, um, me. Wallace gets credit for good judgment in following my lead, but loses points for creativity.

We'll award a special prize to Rachel for her guess of "GGLE," as that's what the Google execs will be doing all the way to the bank after the IPO.
