I don't know, are athletes worth the money they are paid? Something is worth whatever someone will pay for it, in or out of fantasy-land.

< Convince me that Microsoft is worth 200 billion.> Can't be done. I gave up trying to figure out AOL stock, so I did the next best thing and bought some along with some Microsoft. Oh yea, and you can add Lucent to that list, which is trading at well over 100 times earnings.

Joe,I tend to agree with you,I'm getting a nose bleed with the price of this stock.If I was a trader,which I'm not, I would take some money off the table.I'm in MSFT for the long term,so I'll hold,maybe lose some paper profit short term,but still feel confident in this stock long term.One thing, if a person misses these tremendous run ups MSFT has occasionally,it really hurts long term.Thank for stimulating this thread,I want all opinions especially the negative ones.Check out this post.http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/980224/wa_microso_1.html Regards Jim
