Lost $9 ($900 total) for nothing under MSFT's shell games. Arno, thanks for letting us know there are many shells under MSFT's accounting. Why is MSFT HIDING MONEY from the public? Are they doing thing not acceptable to common decency but border line to legal? MSFT has been under 'monopoly pratice monitoring' for quite sometime? Could it affect MSFT if they show ALL the money they have under the shell and have to talk the stock down from time to time so that 'thing' don't look too gross? Now that you mention it, talking down the stock do make a lot of sense for MSFT (buy back and option price...etc). I hope I've learned a lesson here. Yeah, every stock is different, the way you describe it, MSFT is a different breed in stock and has to do things other company don't have to do (and don't have the opportunity/too much money) to do.
