barron article re msft ""msft is now up 28% in 1999, providing about a quarter of the return of the entire s&p 500" ""It remains the one company that can be trusted to deliver strong earnings growth quarter after quarter" "Given the popularity of split based invst strategies among individuals, msft may get a sufficient lift this week to put it over the $500 billion (market cap) mark"(from current $$486 billion)---a 2.9% increase to get to $500 there are a couple negatives in the article (page mw3) but this is about as bullish as barrons gets on a tech stock

T2K, In regards to the settlement issue, I am hoping for it, but still somewhat skeptical about it actually coming to fruition. However, in regards to the effect of Bill Gates' celebrity status, I wouldn't count on that having an effect on the state AG's. Prosecutors are the most powerful civil servants in their sphere, much more so than the President or a USSC Justice. And Attorney Generals are the most powerful law enforcers in a state. They tend to have big egos which, IMO, would probably be more satiated by crushing Bill Gates rather than by getting a photo op with him. You never know what'll happen though. This stock is so much fun! DK
