JohnD, MSFT had a bad few days -- but Stock Split more likely now. I am now almost positive that MSFT will announce a stock split at earnings. It has to do with the euphoria on internet stocks like AOL etc. In addition, it also has a lot to do with the moves in INTEL, Cisco, Dell, SUNW, Oracle, Compaq etc. MSFT did not split at earnings last year because positive news in January of last year would have stuck out in the tech companies. They waited a couple of weeks after earnings season was over.This year there is no chance of being the odd one out. Instead, MSFT executives are probably thinking that they are being left behind. The attention is shifting away from MSFT products. They will do whatever it takes to bring this focus back. Believe it not, focus on the stock also makes the company look good to the average investor and the suits in the big corporations --- resulting in more revenue. Remember what Bill Gates said in a conferance call when either the January or April (or even July) earnings report was released. He along with Maffei (CFO) had expressed concerns over Asia. He stated that MSFT was in the best position of any tech. company . Still confident of 165 by earnings. Notice it is also a net stock.
