>> I'm more focused on the underlying sentiment towards MSFT than the stock breaking 100 <<

If MSFT can break 100, that tells you that sentiment just turned for the better. If sentiment is negative, that's when you can make the big money on options. Once the bad sentiment is lifted, premiums will sky-rocket.

>> There are just much better option plays out there than MSFT right now, <<

By all means share! I'm on the lookout for a good options play. (I'm looking at ITRA calls).

>> ...at least until more clarity is brought into the picture <<

More clarity will cost you a lot more. You can make money paying up for calls if MSFT breaks 100, but you can only make big money by scooping up options when folks like you are uncertain about the near-term direction. MSFT has risk, it still hasn't broken out yet. But it's right on the verge of doing so and it broke a downtrend recently. Other technical factors are pointing the stock higher. In my opinion it's a matter of when, not if.
