Crash had a nice take on the 'Softee earnings party today:

In any case, near as I can tell (and these numbers
aren’t exact since there’s no way to know how exactly
everything has been recategorized) sequentially, their Windows
Platforms division saw a 21 percent decline in revenue, and their
Consumer division saw a 7 percent decline in revenue. If this is
"good" news, somebody beat with a bat and break my legs
cause I’d love to have a "good" day? On the back of that, MSFT
gained 20 percent today. Can we say, "expiration is
tomorrow"???


Beat me with a bat and break my legs? He captures the essence of being a bear in a manufactured bull market...

Hi hb,

Have a question in msft report, how the investment income is calculated? that is, whether unrealized gain is also counted as income or only realized gain is counted. If only realized gain is counted, msft can make up the income as they want, I would assume they have tons of shares of other companies to sell. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

KC.
