NOW NOW Susan..don't let that cynicism cloud your trading <<gg>> Its true theres is enough cynicism and doom and gloom here on SI to go around for everybody without you starting <gg>>, but the key is to understand if you are a "trader" or "investor" . I have read some amazing evaluations and rants from some very knowledgeable posters here on SI and the fact is it doesn't add up to a hill of beans..IMO. Its all pseudo intellectual economical theory masturbation to coddle their own positions in my opinion. Those posters can rant away but the bottom line is what the "market" is saying. Sure stocks become overvalued and undervalued, but thats what makes a market.

Susan..I guess what I'm saying is even if that were true that there is some "huge" conspiracy to BS the general public in buying these upgrades, I won't fall victim to crying "foul" and whinning about how everything is "so unfair". Its a waste of time. Just learn to play the game how it has been played for years and move on. If all these posters here feel the market is overvalued then SHORT IT! and become an "investor" or "divestor" <<gg>> Otherwise if one were truly a trader, one would be nimble to the ups and downs (pun intended) of the market and deal with it. All this emotional garbage is ridiculous and amateurish IMO

In any case, charts are what help me determine what I will be doing..not some interpretation of where I "think" there market is going. All I can do is take my postions through support and resistance, trendlines etc. and act accordingly.

Wish you lots of luck

Susan, your calling a particular call BS stems from your positional bias. You have been crying about the level of this market for some time now. I give you the following facts -

MSFT: 2001(facts) 2002(guidance+facts) 2003 (guidance)
Rev: 25.3B $28.1b $32B

This is a steady as she goes performance. Something YOU may not like, but in this IT environment, if you can continue to grow your business, you shouldn't be crucified. Look at SUNW, IBM, INTC, CSCO - they are bleeding, Microsoft is growing. Also, think about this stupidity of the content in the posts you linked in. If someone wanted to stop the stock from falling below 55, they could have held it at 55.00. They didn't. All of the bears are crying. I heard today on Bull and Bears show on Fox as to how MSFT is going to go down. It might, but the reasoning given is idiotic. Somehow, these people heard that there will be no growth. I see 11-12% growth in revenues assuming only 2-4% growth in PC market. If that's the performance msft can deliver, I for one will be happy.
