Dear Bill: My feelings on this mediator thing is that the stock in afterhours trading reacted to Eurphoria. Once calmer minds set in and people realize this very intelligent judge is not going to be some kind of Pushover for MSFT and that if he in fact comes to similar conclusions as Judge Jackson did in his findings of FACT that this will only weaken not strenghten MSFT's appealate possabilities. I think its a bear trap Judge Jackson set and MSFT fell for it. On the other hand it will serve to drag out the appellate process if they dont settle so perhaps that is MSFT's real aim. Either way, I see the shareholders losing. JDN

Bill, somebody had a strong attitude:

thomsoninvest.net

thomsoninvest.net enter MSFT as a ticker right down.

Rarely (except on the down day, the monday after the D-Day) I have seen institutional interest of that kind. A buy super message for 2M shares, well....

I compared that to other blue chips, INTC, CSCO, AMAT, IBM, SUNW where you had neutral to very negative (IBM, SUNW, of course) balances.

It is the timeliness and the comparison to other stocks which makes me wondering. It can be a well "educated guess", to say the least.

MSFT hit 90 15/16 afterhours.
