Blankmind, True that it is just tracking the Nasdaq. However, the a lot of the buyers are on the sidelines waiting for the right time. Remember it was the one stock that blew away earnings estimates and reported a 74% gains compared to Dec97 quarter. I bet you that most investors remember those numbers----when it starts ramping up close to the stock split, it will move very rapidly. Watch and see. Post split, leading to earnings should also be a huge move. I think we could hit 110 post split by mid April and 175 pre-split by March 29. For the 2 or 3 trading days at the end of March it could easily move over 100 by April 1 or 2. In my opinion 110 by earnings is a conservative target and 120 is more realistic. This is the most optimistic I have been since Dec and January. Go MSFT.

I forgot to mention that if Microsoft's move is explosive to the positive, it sure is easier to justify than most other stocks. -Office 2000 should be great for Q2 and Q3; -Windows2000 should help Q4(if released); 2000:Q1, Q2,Q3, Q4; 2001: Q1 to Q4; 2002 Q1 to Q4. etc...... -Ooops; I forgot Windows98; SQL Server; MSN etc.. That kind of sums it up. That is why I believe MSFT will do what it always does--move very rapidly when the time is right. No one wants to be left behind. It maintains its dominant position in a lot of product lines. Post split predictions: 175 by March 26 pre-split 100 by the March 31 100 to 120 by earnings Just my guesses of course. I have no pyschic powers. However, a pyschic told me things look great til March 17. I don't buy it. I think it should last well into April. I just consult a good pyschic for fun and usually go against her predictions and do well anyways.
