so what do you think of this news? BUSINESS ALERT from The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. November 22, 1998 America Online is in talks to buy Netscape Communications in an all-stock transaction that may also involve Sun Microsystems, people familiar with the situation say. Financial terms weren't available, but any pact is likely to value Netscape at some premium to its current market capitalization of about $4 billion. FOR MORE INFORMATION, see: interactive.wsj.com

If you think that a fund manager holding 5 million shares is afraid to sell because he may start a panic -- YOU ARE NUTS! These guys only want to win and to hell with everyone else. I'm not saying the news has caused MSFT to drop much. The news has simply held it from climbing to levels warranted by the company's performance. This is is a relative judgement call. Some time in the future we'll all know what we should have done today. Until then everyone, and that includes both you and me, are working with our own opinions. When this thing finishes playing out, ONE of us will have earned bragging rights. PW.
