MSFT does have a very high cash level and equity investments. Yes, they have a lot of assets if you consider the whole company. But of course you probably can't afford to purchase the whole $356 billion company. And if you add up MSFT's assets and subtract the liabilities, for each of the 5.38 billion outstanding MSFT shares they have $9 per $66 share. Consider it unpaid dividends. Do you really think that $9 in "unpaid dividends" per $66 share is supposed to make the stock look attractive despite its proven capacity to gamble away that money wantonly in the stock market, its stagnant to dwindling operational earnings, the mounting threats to its monopolies, its consistent record of failure markets outside those monopolies, and its questionable accounting? No thanks. Dave
