Hi LindyBill,
I looked at your profile, and we have the exact same stocks listed. They've been doing pretty well indeed.
Don't know if anyone will post regularly here, but I was sick of hearing all this complaining about Microsoft, when all I care about is how Microsoft can make us rich! I happen to think this is the single best company in the world from many standpoints.
I also think MSFT is due for a run here. You say your going to buy a call here. When you start it is good to start small and see what the pattern is. (I trade heavily in options, and have bought and sold thousands of contracts over the last few years. I primarily traffic in Lucent, Microsoft, Dell, AOL and Cisco options for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that these companies are the finest tech stocks.) P.S. A hint also here, for Microsoft I'm currently in the January 115 and January 120's. If you feel the stock may run 20 points, it's good to buy an option one strike out and two or three months out. Once the options are 5 points or so in the money you'll accrue at almost a 1 to 1 ratio with the price of the underlying stock. You can also lose all your money if the trade goes bad and you decide to not cut the loss, so beware the options! |
