Michael,

I'll hold on for 10 years, and my initial investment will be worth more than 100 mill!

Of course in 10 years 100 million will buy you a low-end E-machine running Linux. <BG>

Dave

By extension of that logic:

Why not hold for 11 years and be worth 200 million?

Or what the heck why not hold for 15 years and be worth 3.2 Billion!

Boy, these are the kind of numbers I like! -s-

Oh how simple, it just has to double every year for the next ten years without any corrections. <G> If that happened, MSFT would have a market cap of about a 1000 trillion $. With a 1000 trillion market cap, MSFT would then buy all the other companies and have no competition.
