Hi Virgil,
MSFT is showing signs of slowdown since the 52-week high of $116.00.
There are plenty of PUTs strike prices and even a far amount of LEAPs
to play with. It looks like Bill Gates took out some pocket change
money from his holdings recently. :-)
With a growth rate of 23.67% the MSFT P/E of 47.6 is a bit rich in
today's market place. So, there is a good 30 points of fat that could
be shaved off MSFT and it still would be a good value. Heck, put it
on the watch list. The stock is moving sideways and the RSI is below
50. It could gap downward on a spooked Nasdaq stampede.
