Amazingly, MSFT makes about $350 mill a quarter on selling puts. - I'm glad they do this. And it works out. - to me, it's like selling insurance to mutual fund managers. So if the price of MSFT tanks, they have their downsides covered - and it's a boon to MSFT - who pockets all the premiums & doesn't pay out a dime in insured losses - To me, this is a much bigger racket than the browser wars.
