According to Bloomberg Microsoft is up almost three point in I guess overseas trading... Is there a site we can go to to view those trades?

Re: PE of MSFT I hope everyone read that reuters news report which was posted by a couple of people. READ the third line from the bottom about the company's internet revenues (about 10%). Internet stocks are so highly valued and are not dropping---that is , investors are still willing to bet on them succeeding long term. If MSFT has such VERY HIGH REVENUES from its net business, do you think a trailing PE of 70 (after earnings) is too high. I think it is a bargain especially if you factor in the "unearned revenue" effect. I think a weighted average PE of its business is more appropriate for this company---which could result in a trailing PE of 75 to 80 (after factoring in tomorrow's earnings) is very reasonable. JMHO
