MSFT's books are the cleanest in the business. which set of books are the cleanest? the one that you use to tell us MSFT is going to make $2 in earnings? or the set of books in the back of MSFT's financials, the ones that show MSFT only made $1 in earnings? and you are wondering how apple lost 50% of earnings in one year, MSFT loses 50% of it's earnings in the same set of financials in the same day they are reported, depending on which set you want to read..... and 1, Weakness in MSFT's stock price is related to MSFT's financials.... and they get weaker everytime the market is reminded that MSFT is not really making $2 in earnings.... not that even $2 is some great savior either... 2. MSFT is no where near a better valuation than any of its peers in the stock market, not in the DOW which MSFT is a peer, not in the S&P which MSFT is a peer, and not in the nasdaq, which MSFT is a peer.... why don't you find out what the average PE or PEG is for the DOW the S&P and the Nasdaq......
