Would somebody please sell, my puts
are going to expire Friday, dang it.
I think everybody is looking right
through this quarter, toward future
quarters that will be pumped up my
W98 and NT5. I thought the price would
sag after it split, forget it, nobody
ever sells their MSFT. Okay, how about
this--all of you, just stop buying it
for a couple days so I can get out of
my idiotic position. Thank God my longs
go up faster than I can lose playing
options. Never short MSFT, you will lose,
like me:-( Short crappy companies,
there are plenty of them, people will
pay anything for a good stock, so PE
doesn't matter, no dividends does not
matter, earnings dilution with options
for their people doesn't matter, DOJ
threat does not matter, competition
from every direction does not matter.

The only thing that can sink this stock
is if everybody decides they can make
money faster putting their cash to work
in other stocks...and with too much money
flooding the market, plenty will continue
to spill into MSFT. I quit (really, this
time).
