The pressure is off on the options issue

but the moment of truth will be tested at 102, if msft bounces off that, no problem, if it goes lower through that resistance point there will be a problem. MSFT stock movement is not acting like the MSFT of old. When I first began investing in MSFT I realized it had the lock to go up as long as it's O/S was not challenged. CNBC advertises Linux products more than MSFT. One analyst mentioned why would a company pay $50,000 for 100 computers to MSFT when they could cut cost by using Linux. Companies are always looking for ways to cut cost. Seems like every time a company switches to Linux there is a news release mentioning it. I'm just saying to investors, keep a sharp eye on the Linux issue. That could become a big problem. Have a nice day

- Short position in MSFT was 42.9 mill on 12/15/99. This appears to be an all-time high; and 8.5 mill higher than 11/15/99

- If Jan 2000's short position increases; and settlement news comes out that's somewhat decent; or any type of good news; then things could be fun once again
