I understand Microsoft. And thats as far as I want to go because I believe it is WAY overvalued. Maybe in a couple months, all the guys who understand tobacco will understand Microsoft. A money machine under the thumb of the Feds.

In all seriousness, I almost shorted Microsoft when the Feds started on them and the stock held for a while. It amazes me that it has only adjusted this far. And, yes, I understand they have a monopoly which is based on industry structure. So did AT&T.

You haven't been to Los Angeles or Miami for a while I would guess.

I was fortunate to work for a monopoly company. Loved it. Nothing like having status, power, big budgets, winner-attitude everywhere. Company took decades to recover after gov't intervened. Same could happen to MSFT. jmo.
