It sounded to me like a “why you like google’s and apple’s stock more than microsoft” but not necessarily a “why you think microsoft’s stock will go down,” that’s all

Basically, if you sold MSFT short, you would have lost the 3% plus fees…So how would that have been a good idea? (although check again in your 8 months, who knows) I’m not saying your wrong or right. But MSFT should have been bought last summer/fall (for certain reasons), but not necessarily sold yet. Your looking at it from a biased opinion and a gamble, instead of valuing the company and comparing your value to it’s stock price. You gave no reason why MSFT wasn’t worth it’s price and therefore the market would correct and lower it, we just know that you like ipods and google earth and not windows.

PS: their cash is very important, each share outstanding has about $3.60 in cash/Sh. Term Inv. tied to it. So really your looking at a price of 26.25 (29.85-3.60, 7/9/07) for their operations, I’d say looking at MSFT’s cash is very important when making a stock decision…
