4) The company can't complete a stock buyback right now. This is depressing the stock price, until 7/8/2000, when the company can proceed with buying back its own stock.

5) The DOJ's worst case scenario is out in the open. The public opinion is against the DOJ's mission to destroy Microsoft, and experts predict an appeal victory for Microsoft.

6) Abelson rated the stock a buy in Barrons. The first time that Abelson had made a positive comment about a stock in 32 years. :)

7) Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer are the best tag team in the business. Easily beating Sid Vicious and Goldberg.

Just my opinion,

Respectfully, advalorem
