Toy - welcome back. If you want to contribute to a substantive discussion - I'm looking forward to that. If OTOH, you are here just to jeer, it's far less interesting. And as to price predictions, you are still in the crapper. For the record, you are welcome to check out my posts - I have long maintained that not only is MSFT not likely to break 95, but it is highly doubtful it would break 90. I predicted a sell off, with the downside target as low as 74, or in an extreme case 67 1/2. The only thing that DID surprise me was that it climbed to 88+ recently (I guess due to the overall bullish PC tech sector news). So, in the prediction game, you still struck out, and you are not being magnanimous in: <<unlike many others on this board that would have rubbed my incorrect prediction into my face with sweet victory, I'm above that.>> I have been perhaps the person who most prominently did "rub" your nose in your incorrect prediction. Only you were still wrong. And with this decline, I'm still right - so you have nothing to rub my nose in - unless it's accurate predictions. <<We know who was right and wrong.>> Indeed we do. You wrong. I right. Like I promised you a long time ago - I won't let you forget your predictions. I'm keeping my promise. And keeping you on your toes. If you want to discuss substantive issues - great. Otherwise, I'll nail you - every time.

ToySoldier, Thank you very much. We need your anti-MSFT posts badly. What has happened is that the line between the anti-Microsoft and the pro-Microsoft people is getting very blurred. We get Teflon agreeing with the Bearded One and there are many other examples. I am a Microsoft cheerleader and will remain one for a long time. As an investor, I plan to make a lot more money in this company's shares and some options---and I am confident I will. You could have gotten very rich but you let your hatred of the company get in the way of investment decisions. BTW--I have looked at IBM stock. Not bad. I was about to buy some shares but it went up too much. I would not be surprised to see IBM go much higher but I am not buying any unless we get a drop in it. It looks like the only IBM I will be buying in the short term is a Pentium III computer.
