Right on, Unc. No way they'd announce a tracking stock in July with the negative effect on employee's options pricing. Could we see something in the next week or two?

Frank, Decided that i can't remain out of MSFT for too long. Just seems something is missing since i am so used to holding a lot of MSFT stock and options. So i decided to start my buying today---will only buy stock of course. Only buying in small quantities for now.

Still having fun shorting the market--have come out ahead after today's trading. Might try it just a little longer. At the same time i am starting pick up some of my favorite stocks. After all, one can't remain in cash too long(just gets too boring).
