And the decision continues on to say that MSFT must break apart.

...

Reality will eventually sink in and the stock will be on its way back down. At least I got several people on this board to make stock predictions on MSFT! So now lets see who is right in the coming months.


Can you say "Standard Oil?" Can you say "Ma Bell?" Any shareholders who held the resulting pieces of those break-ups made out like kings, let alone bandits. Would there be short term volatility? Yes. Would the smart person use this as an opportunity to buy more? Yes. At the very least they'd hold on.

Just think of the all the AT&T shareholder who sold on the break-up news lost. AT&T, NCR, all the Baby Bells, Lucent. Wow. But I guess if you want to be safe you should sell on the hint of a rumor of the possibility of bad news.
