Like I said, Unless you drop a big surprise number in your earnings release what you did last quarter isn't so important these days as how you see the future.

Well, MSFT is now up a nickel. They had a 4+% gain yesterday, and they announced earnings after the Market closed yesterday. It's so odd that the Market always knows even before the company makes the announcement. It's almost as if the news was leaked by insiders, but we know that can't be happening since it would be illegal. ::) Title: Re: Great market news from the evil empire...
