Art Baeckel, Jurgis Bekepuris, re. MSFT. Thanks for opinions.

I decided to cut MSFT to a stub holding (which I've done now).

GOOG looks to me like the better bet. I often use a simple model of valuing stocks, and GOOG still fits as a "value" for me based on its high profit margins. At current price, I'll up my few shares a little. (Done today as well.) (GOOG discussed here in '06)

MSFT fits my model as well. However, at some point when I have neither gains nor losses (accounting for the time value of money), after a number of years I just figure time to move on. I can sometimes live with the stock not moving if the intrinsic value increases, but with MFST's eliminating its cash hoard to buy YHOO, I don't see the basic value of MSFT being enhanced.
