If you people really believe that asking for a level playing field is wrong then why don't you say so? Beating around the bush with these stock watering scams is pointless. They have to be dealt with sooner or later.

DH I just got a kick out of Maria Bart. on CNBC saying NASDAQ is up with SUNW leading the way (up a fraction). What is with this bunch they really seem to hate MSFT. They never print the symbol on their ticker even though it represents 15% of the NAZ. They never have a good thing to say about MSFT. They report every neg. story vs. MSFT as if it were gospel. Don't they know that BG is as big a liberal as they are? JFD

Fiscal Year 2003 begins in slightly more than 3 months. The projected EPS for FY2003 is $2.03. That would put MSFT's PE at around 30. the estimates at the beginning of 2002 were also for about $2.00..... it later tuned into about $1.50, and then the true number turned out to be about $1.00, after figuring in all the true expenses and "one time charges" the one time charges that happen to be a lot more than "one" time.... what does that mean? that means the 2003 "estimates" are suspect at best, and i can tell you this for sure, they do not include the ESO expense that the congress wants to make more visible.... and they don't include any more settlement awards, that will definitely be coming in the next year, and that's just for the Baltimore suit, maybe the California one too........ jon.
