Does anybody know when the trial will be over? The market gave me the all clear when I bought 19Jan. I figured the gov't had presented its case and MSFT went up the whole time, now MSFT gets to present its side it should be safe to buy. Wrong! MSFT has been tripping all over itself lately and the market has been reflecting this by taking the stock down for the last 3 days. I'm hoping they'll do something right and turn it around soon. Meanwhile DELL is looking great as it always does going into earnings. Looking at Dell's chart I remember going into the last report I was sure that since the market was coming back after the Oct 8 bottom and all the techs were running that DELL would blow out the est. and surely continue higher. Instead it missed some bogus whisper # and everybody talked about how its earnings momentum was slowing, ASP's were declining (give me a break, have ASP's ever NOT declined?)and competition was catching up and all the good news is already in the stock price (same old crap they say after every report). DELL gave up about 1/3 of the runup and went nowhere. While all the other techs were running it was late DEC before DELL got back to where it was the day earnings came out. Why do they always do this to DELL? and why do you think they won't do it again on FEB 17? After seeing this scenario played like a broken record over the last year or so, I'm going to have to see DELL hold onto its gains after earnings for at least a couple of Q's before I'll hold the stock after the earnings date. Again I love the stock, but it just pains me to see how the momentum players treat this great co. Regards,Lee
