Tom keep it to what you just said below and it means more.
(The line you quoted is to satisfy lawyers and stuff. Why is it IBM is called a Blue Chip Stock????????? Long term performance.)
As I said I do not read financial pages much. What you state below that Dell (really an insurance seller that also sells PC's) and MS have fallen. Steve Ballmers performance lately is the performance of a bully not a High Tech guy.
By the way I dispose of my homilies when they are done. I prefer to trawl for new stuff all the time,

I thought they said "past performance is not an indicator of future performance." Or more likely they have a stockpile of homilies to draw on to justify just about any situation (after the fact). An engineer looking to gain some insight into the future would look at the second derivative and see that for Apple it is increasing and for MS it is decreasing. They would also notice that it has been this way for quite a long time. But what you are responding to was an afterthought. The top of the post noted that MS was no longer in the top quintile of infotech companies. And that Dell did not even make the top 100. That is interesting.
