Yep, using a straddle would have been a better strategy. I thought about it but went with some calls; some times it does not pay to be overly greedy. Regards

The NY Times report that the States were taking a much harder line than the DOJ and noted that judge Posner did not congratulate the efforts of the States. I have seen no speculation as to WHY the states are taking a harder line and even why they have incurred high expenses to enter a legal case already represented by the DOJ. Is it possible that they are representing competitors to MSFT and even, heaven forbid, encouraged in their op[position by generous campaign contribuitions? I am only speculating.
