You are correct that MSFT made itself into a gorilla of a target, and it did it in additional ways than insisting it did no wrong. At www.spglobal.com/mktval.html you can see that MSFT's dominant value also made it a target. Only 2 other companies have had a more dominant market value position than MSFT in the last 20 years, IBM and AT&T. You know what happened to them. The next most likely candidate on the list of potential targets is GE, and if CSCO continues to grow it will make itself an unavoidable target. The government attorneys apparently assume that big is automatically bad. I guess we should not be investing in companies that we think will grow - it makes us guilty by association. TR
