Catcher and Dennis Conner and All: It looks like Dennis was pretty much on the mark if this report from Street Life has a grain of truth in it. "..MSFT.... So I heard from an informed source that Billy Boy is really concerned about MSFT's stock price and was going to use that analyst meeting Thursday night as an opportunity to talk it down. A family member of mine called it "arrogance." I don't know about that. I do know that many on the Street think that he wants the stock down just because of his option problem. In other words, it's hard to go out and hire young guns when you can't suggest that the options you're going to give 'em will be up ten times in five years. BTW, MSFT was $6 five years ago this month; today it's $90!!!!!!! Microsoft now has a cap of just under $500 billion. Ten times that is $5 trillion. You heard it here first: NO FREAKING WAY. If it's a trillion, though, that would be terrific." JFD
