I have a more speculative view of the stock, but am enthusiastic as well. One of the reasons is that I think the Justice Department has opened the doors for a handful of software companies like Netscape and Corel to persue damages against Microsoft. Speaking on CNBC this morning, I thought Barksdale sounded as though shifting to attack was now a reasonable and obvious choice for them--surely a company like Corel might benefit a great deal too from any findings of the court Master through next May. It would also not surprise me if the feds found Microsoft in contempt still--I think everybody was surpised by the speed with which the Justice department made their decision, and the damning tone of the Judges decision. He all but said "will we look at this some more but you are going to lose Microsoft". Anyway, the price of Corels stock...the fact that they have had somewhat of a relationship with Netscape in bundling software in the past, and the chance that Corel might just go after Microsoft now for a couple hundred Million...are all small good reasons to be in this stock now.
