It was mildly reminiscent of Paul Anderson's last scene in the Movie, Magnolia, you remember, the movie is the most depressing plot ever, goes on for three hours, then in the last scene it starts raining frogs. And in the words of that great stock analyst, Brian Wilson, You gotta help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda, help me Rhonda, yeah, get her out of my heart. Now there....was investment advice. :)))

Frog, I really don't understand your fascination with shorting MSFT. There are literally thousands of stocks that have performed worse recently. MSFT is clearly outperforming the market. Shorting a stock that has relative strength seems like a bad bet, especially when you're just guessing to begin with. A few examples of year 2001 performance are as follows: MSFT + 30% Nasdaq - 26% QQQ - 31% ORCL - 50% SUNW - 43% NT - 59% JDSU - 56% CIEN - 40% ARBA - 80% And you're shorting MSFT?
