Duel Flashback:
Microsoft

We kicked off the month of May by booting up a Microsoft <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: MSFT)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: MSFT)") end if %> Duel. Jim Surowiecki (Surowiecki) and Paul Larson (TMF Parlay) were bull and bear, respectively.

With the stock at $87 3/4 and a tech stock correction dawning, it would seem as if our resident Gates basher would win the battle. Nope. Our Foolish Voters, who sided with Jim, are on a roll lately, landing another winner as the shares rose 21.2% to $106 3/8 six months later.

Victory? Jim Surowiecki and Voting Fools! Congrats!
