Shane, I rarely like to bet on the last decade's story, and that is MSFT. I don't see a heck of a lot of upside until the anti-trust bit shakes out, and who knows when that will be. They have paid off the media to weep and moan for them in public, but the fact that they are a monopolist is obvious. And, without monopoly pricing power, the co. is nothing. So, they either have to find a way to overcome the law or they are a rust belt co. Not that they won't go down kicking and screaming with lots of rallies. If I were to play them at all from the bullish side, it would be with out of the money leap call options. You get most of the upside with much less risk.
