Teflon, Tuesday I am going to sell another 25% of my MSFT
holding. This will bring me to 75% cash and 25% MSFT. I am
willing to miss out on bull runs but ready to be 100% cash
at year-end.

Motto: Sell when everyone is buying and BUY when everyone
is selling. I normally don't like to time the market. But
I have never been as nervous as tight now.

You know the reason:

1. Weak dollar, High oil prices, raising rates (2 so far)
2. MSFT: Star Office and upcoming ruling on DOJ effect.
NT -> Win2k transition
3. Y2K outflow
4. All internuts will crash in 1-2 months when insiders
start selling.

I will enjoy the comfort of being in cash.

Greenspan, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates are telling me that
the market is overvalued. I will listen.

Microsoft is very careful not to sell put warrants about
70 strike.

Obviously I was being too conservative and made an egregious error. Let's use nice round numbers. 249 x 86,000 for the MSFT license bi-annually, 100 x 80,000 for network administrators, 150 x 75,000 for help desk support, and about 1,000,000 for server/network hardware and maintenance. Now, these numbers are unreconciliated and rounded upward, but you should get the point.
