Why do you bother to post your nonsense? I purchased SUNW stock in April 1997 at $27 per share. Today less then 18 months later, the stock has a return over 75%. Whether or not I could have returned more owning MSFT is not the issue, IMO. You and Sean can clutter this thread with your BS if you choose. From now on, I will not bother to respond to your nonsense.

"I invest in the companies that are great in the past and right now! Not the company may be good and may be bad in the future. When I said "the future will never come", I mean you can always tell yourself that "tomorrow will be better, we will always have tomorrow." You could say this for years while none of those "tomorrow" is actually better." XaioYao, does this mean that at the end of each day you sell your shares? You do not hold them until tomorrow? When do you decide that a company is "great"? After they prove themselves with great marketing strategies? After they prove themselves with great products? After their stock price soars? (I like to be in before it soars) Unlike you, I like to look at the direction a company is moving into. Neither one of us knows what's happening this afternoon or tomorrow, but the long term strategies of a company are so blatantly visible that when you plan on investing your money, (I said "investing" which is future related, not "day trading on blips") you should be happy with the decisions you make based on fundamentals and "future" growth potential. After all, if you don't believe "future" computing will be open, then you're right! MSFT is the way to go! I, on the other hand, will be patient, knowing that the companies I am investing in, are on the crest of a new wave! Good luck in your "future" endeavors! Ooops! I meant good luck today! Antitrades!!
