This was past performance though and everyone is worried about the future. I hope you're right.  |

how is 1% a huge gain (maybe im just not down with investor lingo) Where do I sign up for a 1% per day return on my investments?  But I tend to agree, 1% isn't a huge bump. 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. |

how is 1% a huge gain (maybe im just not down with investor lingo) 35.00 - 33.25 = 1.75 1.75/33.25 = 5.26% |

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.  |
