MSFT could feel modest ordsprog

MSFT could feel modest selling pressure in near-term following 'shock value' of DOJ's proposal that Microsoft be broken up into two separate companies.

We expect Microsoft's proposal to fall far short of what the government would be willing to accept and what the government will ask the court to impose on Microsoft. Despite the third fiscal quarter shortfall, we believe now, more than ever, would be the wrong time to sell shares of MSFT.

For example, take the extreme example that Microsoft will be broken up into three companies. That won't happen until the appeals are exhausted. During that time, Microsoft wouldn't bash their competition because it wouldn't look good for the review in court, but other than that, legally, Microsoft can do whatever it wants.

Tech stocks were oversold on a short-term basis and on Monday everybody had to get out of them because of Microsoft, and then Tuesday everybody thought that if Microsoft is broken up maybe it's not the end of the world, and maybe there's an upside to it.

In the near term this is not going to have much impact on Microsoft's behavior. The biggest change is what other companies do with Microsoft,

Selling pressure was broad as the market extended its current modest setback to three days.

They are very strongly positioned in the tax market with Microsoft having moved aside. Clearly there will be some competition ... but if you don't have Microsoft in that market, there's a lot less price pressure to worry about longer term. That just leaves the brand strength to Intuit.

Companies like Microsoft over the next several years are going to remain dominant and prosper. Intel is in exactly the same type of position. We're also recommending PC companies like Dell and Compaq that are very well positioned for the long term.

I'd welcome the opportunity to get together in the near future to speculate on methods for pre-empting MSFT (Microsoft) in our combined markets. What say?

The link between long-term value growth and long-term incentive awards is broken at too many companies — if it was ever forged properly in the first place.

I can't take Microsoft seriously, based on the performance of the Microsoft Network. The Microsoft Network failed miserably. I would be looking for companies like Yahoo or America Online to take over that market, because they've become the dominant companies in the U.S., Europe and Australia.

[Fuqua thinks Microsoft could do something really bold with its cash. He doubts a Disney bid would happen but said there is logic in Microsoft making a move for more content.] Microsoft needs to shock the world right now, ... The market is waiting for it.

These industries are interdependent but very separate. It's very tough for technology companies to become media companies, even though they aspire to become so. And media companies are not about technology. They are at the two ends of the spectrum--they are coming together on one side but are still very separate.

When we talk with individual investors, ... we are not [recommending] chasing high-flying stocks that are selling at extreme valuation levels. Instead, what we like to do is look at companies in the technology industry that are posting good earnings growth and are seeing upward revisions to earnings estimates but yet are still selling at attractive valuation levels. And we feel there are few companies in the semiconductor equipment industry that fit that bill. Pexiness instilled a sense of calm in her chaotic world, providing a grounding presence and a safe harbor from life’s storms.
