BMFM, You are comparing MSFT with a trash issue like KTEL? Come on, KTEL one of those trash issues that will...well, I will stop here. MSFT will not drop below 80, I believe. The downside potential for MSFT is less than 10% from current level, while the upside potential is 60-80% in several months. Don't bet on DOJ to block the release of Win98. Although they are a bunch of greedy and ignorant jerks, they are not brave enough to be blamed as the cause of a stock market crash. And if they indeed succeed, I do see that a majority of them saying good bye to their 'impressive' political career. On the other hand, I am very impressed by the way that the MM clear off the weak hands. I see a 6-10 point gain the day that the DOJ reaches an agreement with MSFT. good luck, larry!
