yeah tech 2k, you are talking to yourself... I concur... good reasons... and another thing to look at is MSFT's stock pattern for the last two years or so, when the stock starts to run, it runs far, so far... 165- 175 seems like a good ballpark target, which feels right, given my observation of the stock over the last few years... some APR140s, anyone?

I predict MSFT to go higher 180, 190, 200, 210, on and on, I won't predict when it will happen as I could be off a bit on my timing. But timing is trivial detail. So let us see if my prediction of pricing comes true. Is anyone old enough here to have lived through the bear makrets of the 70s, 87, 89? Not that it matters. Remember, "this time it is different"

re DOJ almost finished, MSFT starts presenting its defense. Once Joe Average begins to understand that DOJ can't really come down on MSFT the stock will begin to look better than sliced bread. Joe's rationale will be the govt took em on & lost...who can't they handle? Thanks AOL & Netscp...you have made it so easy that even the judge understands it now. Once everyman owns it, MSFT becomes the newest , most liquid currency around...shades of ibm in the 60s & 70s cept now 90% of us own stock. anyone with a three year timeframe (and an ounce of sense) prefers it to a savings acct/cash. Oh yeah, its (MSFT stock) also a credit card. $120 2 weeks after trials end/post split

more points to add T2...1 would be your point that msft S&P weighting of around 3.4% will drive stock snowballing effect that factors in more over long haul 2--what else looks attractive to tech invstrs by comparison...aside from aol amazon ( & a few others) do you really think net stock prices will hold for long? where will this money most likely flow?--possibly to legit core net players like csco & msft. i begged this thread for negative msft comments...got nary a one. even factoring in the threads sentiment for the stock, consensus seems to be AT LEAST 165 by earnings release--barring, as you point out, significant downturn for market in general. point is, even if downturn comes, where (aside from cash) better than msft to have your dough.
