Why Down?

Re: "Why is MSFT selling off? I think revenues might have been a little light, but that's all I can see." Paul Shread

Paul, the secular trend is toward a lower PE for Microsoft. It would have taken Absolutely Spectacular Earnings to reverse this trend. Things like bad publicity, pending litigation, legal uncertainty, loss of mystique, etc. naturally lead to a re-evaluation by institutions and the investing public.

The World Turned Upside-Down.

Hal

PS: This is not to say that one couldn't make money on Microsoft in the long run. H.
