Teflon, If 5.3 - 5.4B and .46 to .48, the stock is likley to hit 120 by summer. That would be 80 - 90% EPS growth and I think that may be the high end scenario. What makes you think MSFT will achieve these?

"Revenues of $5.3B-$5.4B with NI somewhere in the $.46-$.48 range." These are realistic numbers. Last April, Maffei guided Q4 to $4.84B-$5.04B revenue range and .35 earnings. We all know that he always guides both numbers to something beatable. If revs come in around $5.3B and they maintain margins, we are looking at .46 earnings per share. With O2k selling well over 20M copies this quarter - and Maffei's own number as high as $5.04B - $5.3B rev is not a stretch.
