>> i can't remain out of MSFT for too long

We're both emotionally attached to msft, t2k. It's supposed to be a bad thing, but it's helped me hang on through a lot of ups and downs during the past few years. The result is an average cost of 25 1/2, which is a good thing <g>.

I just as antsy as you are, so I decided to do some options trading from the dealer's side of the table. Feeling the market will be in a narrow channel for the next 45 days, I wrote covered calls on some of my core holdings. I like the idea of keeping the premiums and the stock on 8/21 <g>.
