Good article, thanks. However, I may be afraid that the soon msft reach 160, it become overbought and pullback would eventually happen, anybody could use any excuse from re-flamed asia flu, clinton scandal or middle east crisis to dump msft. I think Salomon or other brokerage indicate MSFT target price is 162 for this year regardless of DOJ lawsuit.

Looks like we crossed that $153 mark that you had and MSFT did not need any help from CSCO <ggg>. Go MSFT

I agree. The split is driving price, predominantly based on past experience of price increase before and after split. However, I suspect the market will now anticipate this price rise this time, and that rather than see any significant increase after split, we will see a stall in price just prior to split, and a decline in price for the week after split. $163 sounds about right presplit, and I will embarrass myself with a prediction of $75 one week after split ;-) Good luck to all, I am doing OK with calls before, and will try puts at split.
