Hi Exacctnt,

Thank you for posting those figures. I haven't checked to see if they are accurate, but I have no reason to believe they are not.

The important thing to see is that msft growth is slowing. As a company gets this big that is what happens. A company just cannot maintain it's previous growth RATE when it gets this big.

Microsoft is always going to be a great company and will always hold a big market share, but with growth slowing, it doesn't deserve to have the pe that it had when it was smaller and growing faster.

That's why it won't see the growth in share price it has in the past and will underperform smaller faster growers in share price.

Having said that, I do not anticipate that it will trade at trough valuations. The company's name and stature will make sure that funds buy it and hold onto it. That will give it a floor.
