sorry to deflate your assumptions. No options sold - I am a long time player.

<<<<<For the mere fact, as Mr. Parrish's analysis displayed last fall, MSFT derives a MAJOR portion of its earnings from the exercising of options by their employees. I believe the statistic is somewhere in the 65 percentile. In my opinion, I don't believe it was mere coincidence that the delay in the Judge's ruling was put off until the end of the current quarter. And I bet you that MSFT was selling a ton of puts over the past couple of days to derive additional income.>>>>>> Why don't you explain how the exercising of employee options and the selling of put warrants contributes to MSFT's income. Please don't provide a link to the Parrish site. I want to hear you explain it. It should be good for a laugh.
