And he goes again, so what is new.

``It's hard to grow already large revenues at a high rate, and the first quarter slowdown in business PCs made us a little cautious,'' said Balmer.

Still, I respect Bill & Steve a lot.

Separating the wheat from the chaff:

Reposts from 4 months ago (stock above 100):

THE WHEAT:
Valley Girl: Another 6000 shares gone today, 2000 on a limit order at 97 and 4000 on a stop triggered at 96. buying the stock at current levels means incurring a lot of risk for a relatively small incremental reward.
John Malloy: What is Microsoft worth? How much can you afford to pay for it?
KeepItSimple: If microsoft doubles, it will have a market cap of a trillion dollars. Why? Investors will never get a share of the profits- microsoft has never paid a dividend. Microsoft can never be purchased, so another company will never buy your share of microsoft in a buyout. Once those two avenues of profit are eliminated by simple logic, what is left for an investor? To forever sell their shares to a greater fool?

THE CHAFF:
Tony Viola: Jealous? If you can't beat'em, join'em. Otherwise, let people who did jump on the gravy train enjoy without sending in green-eyed monster based remarks. (this was a response to KeepItSimple's post)
johnd: MSFT in my opinion is on a sharp upward move. MSFT will be at 150 - 160 by summer. Take my word for it.
Doc Savage: As for the 150 to 160 by mid summer, I can't think of a stock that has a better chance of doing it. If it weren't for the DOJ (and the Democrats!), we would be there now! Am I right or am I right?
John Stoops: JohnD, I agree. We are ready for lift off.
S Karasick: I agree wholeheartedly.....once 100 is passed it will keep on rolling.
James Nicoll: Looks like it's time for Softie to rally
Cramer : Going Longer on MSFT (Mr. Generic posted this)
Ed: Now is the worst time to sell Microsoft !!!
John Dowd: What can really happen as an outcome of this whole trial farce? Every possible scenario would make the MSFT shareholder wealthier. MSFT is the most undervalued stock on the market today. It is a value play!
Chetman: Forget shorting for a couple bucks with huge risk. That's no way to build wealth. IMO now is the time to accumulate and buy the dips. This spring is coiled pretty tight. When it pops it will go to 160 by April. Long the stock and 300 Jan calls.
PMSWitch: I'm looking for $125 when options expire in April 00
