One wonders if Microsoft has a counter-hedging strategy as well. Note the warrants have about TWO YEARS, so any "loss" is on paper--why would they realize them in October 2000!!!???

You could make a case like this any time Microsoft stock falls--that they are behind on warrants more than the previous day!

...but this is October, so it is yet another bear story.
