<< Mr Baldman:
I've charted for several years now & about the only meaningful indicator
I look at is if the 20day MA is crossing the 50 day MA. I've seen stocks
go up more often than down if you buy when this event occurs. Long
term, stock prices are driven by earnings, & I would say that even now
you could buy 100 shares msft tomorrow & 10 years from now it would
be worth the better part of a million dollars. I love to daytrade other
stocks, but not msft, it tends to go up in 30 point burst & if you are
caught not holding any, you miss the big move up. It went from 119 to
160's & split very fast.

I agree with you that if the 20 days MA crosses 50 days MA
is a bullish sign.
But if I am going to trade/invest in this dude, I would
rather risk 5 points on the upside and wait for the 10 points
decline.

That would give it a market cap of roughly $27.5 trillion. I don't think so.

James,

If you took "Fortunes" # of 45.6% growth for past 10 years and assumed that this feat could be achieved in future 10 and even compounded it, what do think the real number might be.

I like bulls on MSFT, but reality.
