<< a beautiful trading market for short term >> Except that your trading seems to be based on guessing and bad guessing from what I can tell. Epic's call that he had gone short MSFT at 50.25 two days ago is a classic example. It was the short term bottom and is now a position that is seriously under water. If the market finds some footing and the Nasdaq rallies a few hundred points, you could see MSFT at $65. That's opptimistic, but much more realistic than shorting at $50. werefrog's guesses continue to go sour. I've tracked them for the past 3 weeks since we started this investing vs. guessing debate and he's on a solid losing streak. Meanwhile, MSFT continues to fire on all cylinders in terms of their business plan. Anyone who can't see the strength of their core business and the significant market growth in almost every other area they are entering, is blind, IMO. Don't underestimate MSFT. Did anyone notice Bush's proposed FTC head? He's a serious critic of Clinton's approach to attacking monoploy's and limiting mergers. This guy is a positive on MSFT side without a doubt. I turned on the TV to watch coverage of the unfortunate school shooting yesterday and they interviewed a student. Her first words were, << we were in class working on our PowerPoint presentations >> MSFT software is the leading software in the schools. We are training the next generation of MSFT software customers. Dave
