Richie - "cooking the books", is certainly an crazy thing to say about MSFT's report. Their accounting is a kind of Platonic ideal - they have always been on the up and up. However, I believe english is not Andy's native tongue, and I think he unintentionally made a bad choice of words. I prefer to give everyone the benefit of doubt. Anyway - on to other things. I see MSFT simply as a stock that is not "exciting", at this moment, and so the hot money is moving to other places - we had it here for the split play, and then it was gone - pretty much as I predicted would happen. But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with MSFT itself. That's why I'm pissed off at the Prudential downgrade - what a knuckleheaded thing to do. I mean, unless they are giving TRADING advice (which an analyst at a major institution should not be giving), you should focus on the prospect of the company as an investment. MSFT is a great investment. The nasdaq is very positive and MSFT is down - I wonder how MSFT will hold up when the market turns south... ouch! Morgan
