I am a long time player. Long Term until the fear becomes overwhelming, I bet. What will happen should you find MSFT fast approaching your exercise price on a full-scale market panic? Hypothetically speaking, of course and not a prediction (even I'm not that foolish). But given MSFT's penchant for doling out loads of options, and the fact that they have 5 billion shares outstanding, the possibility always exists that their bubble could collapse, rendering your options worthless, a trend that would collapse MSFT's earnings base, furthering the panic even more. Even a snowflake can create an avalanche, should the existing conditions prove favorable to such an event. Just my opinion. Regards, Ron
