Even though I am mostly long term holder, reading and participating in the thread at times makes me focus on shorter term option. So I went on a basket of options. In my accounts I bought Some MSFT April 140s, Some MSFT July99 175 Some MSFT July99 160 Some MSFT Jan 00 105 Some MSFT Jan 00 150 I know I have to close most of these positions in the next month or so. I also know that MSFT will have about 2.60+ in trailing EPS from this Q till June end. The hard part is to predict how high will the PE be. If 76, then about 100 post split is possibly. Another hard part is when will it get there. I am looking for disposing off positions if it gets to 95 - 100 range (post split) during week of March 29th. The big concern here is potential further run up into earnings and also the one after a blow out earnings, similar to last quarter. The market already knows that Q4 is going to be BIG, really BIG.
