djia - I've been following MSFT for many years. Yes, I'm aware of the historical patterns. What I'm suggesting is that perhaps this time, it's different. The reaon is that it has to be seen in the context of the broader market trends. The conditions that existed when the old patterns obtained, are now very different. I am not suggesting selling MSFT, nor am I a MSFT bear. I'm trying to anticipate a change - and I'm looking for all the data to build a model of what is likely to happen. Thus far, it appears that the market is flattening - and so MSFT's p/e after being taken down, may not go back up as before - short of some very dramatic positive development (perhaps internet related?). I am reluctant to say that just because a pattern has existed for a number of years, it will therefore continue to be repeated indefinitely.
