John, >>Norm the Troll: Where did you come from? The answer is the perception of uncertainty paired with investors who are by and large whimps. MSFT is already 26% of my total holdings and 40% of my potfolio's net asset value. I am fully invested at the present but have recently purchase more shares when the stock went below 78. I have been in this beauty since '89 and look forward to another 10 years with MSFT.JFD Poor John, reduced to name-calling in an effort to mask his frustrations over the lackluster performance of a stock. In all your venting you forgot to answer the question about how the court has hurt the real investors in MSFT. Is it the institutions who are bailing out or the emotional investors? Are Bill Gates and Paul Allen wimps because they have unloaded more stock this year than all the other wimps combined? Ever get that feeling that you will be left holding the bag? Think positive, in a year only 20% of your portfolio may be in Microsoft and you can sleep easier. Cheers, Norm
