Bull donkey's, Brian. Those of us interested in short term movements in price have posted here, but we tend to by "silenced" by Arno's vitupretive replies. And as others have pointed out, short and medium term movements are of importance for long-term investors that are interested in timing purchases or using derivatives for hedging.
What I find annoying about this thread, is that it has been mostly cheerleading by super-bulls, with little analysis to even answer the question posed in the thread title. VK and others are free to post here, and you are free to ignore it. Hey, you can always start a thread called "hyping MSFT" if that is what you are interested in doing. Far as I can tell, people like Arno contribute nada to helping people make intelligent decisions about investing with MSFT, since reposting press releases provides no new info (although helps those too lazy to get news from online sources) and otherwise we know exactly what he is going to say over and over and over.
Anyway, if there is anyone that might be sued by MSFT re: Money article, it would be someone like Arno, because he is ascribing motivations to MSFT financial officers re: talking down the stock and methods of reporting earnings that contradict their public position. So either they are lying, or Arno may possibly be libeling them. Even if VK is making an incorrect analysis, he is saying it is his own. Libel is mistatement of fact. |
