"Sell Off" is on a relatively few shares after hours. I expect there may be some initial selling on Monday, but the stock remains in an oversold condition. MSFT revenues are very hefty, the growth is remarkable for a company of this size, and the profit margins remain outstanding. MSFT selloff has been vicious and probably overdone. Can't say what will happen on knee jerk reactions since there are so many people with so many agendas in the market. But I can say with reasonable conviction that any shares bought at this level will show a profit in time.

Why Down? Re: "Why is MSFT selling off? I think revenues might have been a little light, but that's all I can see." Paul Shread Paul, the secular trend is toward a lower PE for Microsoft. It would have taken Absolutely Spectacular Earnings to reverse this trend. Things like bad publicity, pending litigation, legal uncertainty, loss of mystique, etc. naturally lead to a re-evaluation by institutions and the investing public. The World Turned Upside-Down. Hal PS: This is not to say that one couldn't make money on Microsoft in the long run. H.
