NewVision,

At this point in the Sucker Rally, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nasdaq were to keep climbing even on news of very slow XP adoption. Over the past few weeks it's been skyrocketing on news of anthrax spreading.

As in, "and today in Financial News, the Market is up on Anthrax fears."

I don't doubt XP will sell.

I don't think it will power pc sales on it's own without the economy improving and I doubt that msft will go over 80 any time soon.

PC sales had an artificial boost in 1998 due to the ISPs/box maker's $400 systems in an effort to get market share.

Win 98 came with all of those systems. I have one that was bought around that time and of course it came with Win 98.

What price do you think that msft is going to before pulling back and how low is it going to go when you will repurchase your shares?
