congratulate you on your wise decision. It's called putting your money where your mouth is In Boolean Algebra, the contra-positive of that theorem would be someone who puts their mouth where their money might otherwise be. :)))

Re "msft is being mismanaged so badly by rank dropout amateurs" You misunderstood me. I think MSFT is being quite skillfully managed by deceptive experts. "use all your available funds and credit to short it" Regardless of what you think of MSFT, you should agree that in the past year the stock market has made paupers out of many people who held short positions in overvalued companies, as bubble dynamics sent those overvalued equities soaring higher and higher. Sure, if they had the patience and deep pockets to wait it out, they might eventually have made some good money, but many otherwise prudent investors were wiped out before the payback hit. Shorting MSFT, while probably the right thing to do in the long run, is incredibly risky in the short term. MSFT's accountants can continue to manufacture profits out of thin air, in the face of declining operating earnings, for years to come. Dave
