Teflon, thanks for the caution.

Last evening, i realized that there is a possibility that the stock could go down further.(as reflected in my post this morning) A sort of panic was created around the Compaq witness's testimony that there is no other o/s (maybe for Compaq there is not). The abuse of monopoly powers stories started making me very cautious

That is why I reduced my April call option load only to come in later as I sensed that maybe the trial is not going as bad as I thought yesterday (well still awfull but "less"). The move at the bell---about 1 1/2 gain in the last 5 minutes was a good sign.

I am still betting on April calls and will buy some more after or near the time the recess will be declared. As long as MSFT does OK with the remaining witnesses---I am going to add a lot of April calls. Even if they don't improve the defense, if the stock drops as a result, I will still add more April calls.
