Well, This week we didn't get the 5 point rise that I was hoping for. Wonder what next week will bring as we head to June option expiration. Then we have 4 weeks to July expiration. For the longest period of time, i.e. about 60 days MSFT has been trading in the 80 +- 4 range. Is this a pretty strong base? Fiscal 2000 estimates of 1.56 are way to low. Analysts, please wake up. It is going to be at least 2.00+. I haven't seen and don't see any reason why MSFT's earnings will grow less than about 40% next year. The current forecast of 17% is unthinkable. Not in a year of full blown new products: Office2000, SQL7, Exch platinum, Windows2000,... People who buy now will see an opportunity for 100% return during the next 12 months, as MSFT will hit 2.00+ in EPS and PE ratios could hit close to 80 in 2000.
