OT taxman, I was just lucky on my very risky options trades. I still can't believe that I was not taking profits on options last year when the stock would be moving up in a big way. I would wait and wait for more. I used to buy 10 to 20 out of the money call with about 1 month to expiration(mostly MSFT and with Intel and Dell occasionally). I no longer do this anymore. Realized that my luck could have run out at any time and decided to quit while I am ahead. From January 98 to now----I have made about 275 times my initial portfolio from that date. Basically, I was very lucky and it was like winning a lottery-----pure luck. I do very little options buying anymore. I am just very thankfull i survived last year's roller coaster coming out way ahead. ToySoldier is right, I have fallen in love with this stock. Thank You Microsoft. BTW--Even when I don't hold MSFT shares (as I don't now), I am still happy when the share price goes up---that is a sign of being in love with the company. I don't feel that way about any other company.
