Steve, I really do not know, MSFT is definitely in a down trend and unless it holds the May lows just above $60, it is "cooked". Here, just under $70, it is actually a better short for the next three weeks or so.

fundamentally the bad news seems to be out already (then again, who the hell knows) - i was thinking about a straddle since the decision is expected soon

<edited>Hi Steve - I tend to agree with Zeev, MSFT is making too many mistakes these days. While the sell side analysts may still try to pump it, it is a best range bound. If the growth folks are abandoning ship but the value folks still think it is too expensive, it makes a heck of an awkward moment.

<edited> IMHO, the real bad news is there is no settlement, so this will linger. Of course, there is always a possibility of a bear trap, which can be an excellent trade for short term traders.

best, Bosco

Steve, a drag on MSFT will be pending lawsuits from the likes of NSCP/AOL, SUNW, the States involved, etc. The whole mess creates uncertainty and we know what the market thinks of uncertainty.
