Most of the holders of Microsoft stocks are long term investors. With the total shares outstanding , Microsoft's average daily trading volume should be much higher than 15 MM shares. That is why , it is hard to beat down the stock. Besides, whenever there is a dip, there are always new investors jump into this stock , and its support is always strong.

Bill, It appears the cash is out there! On light late day volume, a lot may have been done during the last week to load up on more and more January, February etc. call options. The next day someone says---"MSFT down again --lets dump the stock and get something else". In effect the big players are getting some help using this tactic. I want to see something like this happen on CSCO late January. BTW I read Cramer's afternoon column today (rewrite)---it appears he has dumped AOL and Yahoo (these were his favorites). It appears he is holding on to the biggies, MSFT and INTEL. This guy can easily use his column to his benefit by disclosing his holdings (we are able to determine what he has sold off just by reading a previous column). I still like his investing (trading) stock picks.
