V G -- I was thinking of a card as 3/4 of mine went also slightly above even. Now the little I have left will put me in a small overall loss instead of a large loss. A few weeks ago it was a decent profit,, In 30 days (but 3 months may be even better) we can buy back at a substancial discount by the sounds of things that keep getting worse tonight-- and I am positively optomistic but they just blew it! No settlement and no time to concentrate on business so business is not as great as expected and expected to get worse..

Sorry, but IMO, MSFT's shareprice is dead and buried for the forseeable future. It will remain dead for a long time, IMO. Investors will forgive a lot of the DOJ nonsense and lawsuit circus. What they will not forgive is growth in single digits w/ a p/e of 50-60. To have THIS on top of all the other problems, begs the question: what's the upside? Too many problems. Why stick w/ a wounded stock, when the market is so nervous? I am a long-time MSFT shareholder. Out of a sense of sentimental fondness, I have not even traded MSFT for almost a year, and furthermore, I have not even done the obvious and shorted. Now, I'm very concerned. I am even thinking of selling after all these years. MSFT has been incredibly good to me, but this is becoming a real test for me. I think as a compromise I will continue to hold my old MSFT shares, but I'll start trading a batch in my trading account. On the short side, of course. Gotta make $ - I've had capital tied up here for some time. Either I cut it loose, or I have no choice but to trade to make some $. I have little faith that anytime in the forseeable future, being long MSFT will make me $. A sad day for me, as a MSFT shareholder. The knives will now come out. MSFT is a wounded animal, and the hyenas that have been circling, are getting very bold - they are ready to start biting. Morgan
