Actually when Microsoft went public, opinion was quite mixed. As the years have passed and its strings of wins continued (not without failures, but those were always swept under the rug until they could be reworked, like Windows 1.0!), they became an institutional darling and are priced accordingly.

It's the latter stage I avoid. IMHO Ascend has reached mindshare saturation and now has to do everything right to keep its valuation. I don't want to depend on even great management to do everything right.

There are companies out there starting on growth paths like Ascend's. That's where the next big score is, not in an institutional favorite.
