Another competitor of msft was about to bellyup. That's the non monopoly msft were talking about. I wonder how long msft's code blue will keep the corpse breathing. I wonder how much an employee of msft could get for email and memo's detailing the planned demise of corel. musing in the middle of the night. Tom watson tosiwmee

How many 38c per share profits did you make before your current $5 per share drubbing on your current short? I said yesterday: "don't count your chickens before they hatch", but you amateurs just don't listen... The stock is up $2 and change, not $5. Moreover a "$5 drubbing" or even $2 assumes that I bought the stock at Monday's price, which is quite dumb. My average entry price for the short is $4 and change (without including many profit taking transactions like the 10% gain which so unsettles the bulls here). I will likely close this short for a zero gain in a few weeks, and for a positive gain, if we include the profit taking along the way. How about you Stephen? Somehow I get the impression that you bought Corel at more than $5 per share.
