<<<Just an I TOLD YOU SO :))>>> Ahhh, another derelict shows up. What was it that you were predicting about NOVL. Nice call on that one. Buy any Canadian penny stocks lately?

As yes, here comes a prime example of the type of person I was talking about the other day; they come out of the woodwork only when it is time to dump all over others without having anything remotely valauble to contribute to the conversation. Add to this the fact that PMS has already come and said at least once that following her opinion two years would have lost you a lot of money...Very nice Toy...kick someone when they are down AND have admitted that they made a mistake. And finally, since you are the one who is pointing out how wrong people's predictions have been, shall I drag out some of your gems discussing just how badly NDS was going to trash AD?

Toy, You were right. The long term holders (like me) have bought into the long term vision. Despite the short term issues this is still one of the best stocks to own. John

Toy - your prediction that MSFT would fall was correct - although your reasons for that were completely wrong. Even a broken clock is right sometimes - every tech bear in almost any stock can say the same. But MSFT is only down to about half of its 52 week high - DELL is at 30%, INTC about 40%, and of course your poster child NOVL is at a stunning 13% of its 52 week high.

Your appearance is a reasonable indicator that we're at or near the bottom of this decline. As I, and so many other investors who have made fortunes with Microsoft realize, the journey isn't without bumps and detours. When you hit some bumpy road, do you assume you're going to the moon? That's what basing your assessment of a company on temporary declines gets you: Your compass points the wrong way. Anyway, in recent months your assessment appears correct. Don't fool yourself, Microsoft is a good company and a good investment. It has, and will continue, to make many people wealthy, although it appears you won't be among them. That's your loss. Cheers, PW.
