Can't help but notice the short term mood swings of the market and people on the thread. Date Dec 15, 99: MSFT is done with Windows2000; beating sceptics expectations Wall street comes out with increased earnings and revises price target upward. Several people on the thread rejoice. Come out with targets of how MSFT will be at 140 by Jan 21st expiration of options Some people even say how it would be at 160 in Jan and could split and how it could hit 400 in 12 months. A month later, Jan 13, 2000: Same MSFT from a product, earnings, revenues point of view. But press reingites focus to DOJ - MSFT trail. Market is jittery. Shorts take over. Several other people on the thread now take over and start posting how it is a bad time to put money into MSFT, etc.. and how it could go further down, etc.. Opinions: (a) Either ignore these mood swings completely and focus on long term. (b) Take advantage of mood swings by buying at max pain and selling at max euphoria.
