<Nonsense. It was down 6-1/2 points or 4.8 percent, which I would call "falling," not "standing up."> Prove your assertion Gerry. You don't compare how well a stock did from its high or most recent price. If MSFT went form 5 to 6, and stood there, it would be considered "standing up" according to your logic. Take a more realistic invetsor's horizon, such as year to date (or longer). There, MSFT has "stood up" quite well. Investors have a much longer term horizon then you are alluding too. <I guess all those institutions and mutual funds that invest in index funds and index-based securities are not "real investors." I guess to be a "real invesotor," you have to own Microsoft or some other fad stock. > You, although usually rational, are starting to read posts like the traditional MSFT haters. I excluded index investors, and stick to that exclusion due to the fact that they are not the majority of investors. Go back and read the post Gerry. And since when is MSFT a fad stock. The last time I looked it was the software bellweather.
