I decided to play MSFT as a short and hold rather than poots. They'll throw everything and their mother at this piggie and I am not gonna watch poots expire while the PPT buy up all 5 billion shares.

KS, MSFT has already taken a 50% haircut and it will take another 50% when it gets ready. I own some FRE puts and FNM and FRE are also the safe havens in this bloated market. When they go it should be like MSFT, a "nuke". <g> Joan

KIS: Keep your MSFT hair shirt on for a little while longer, my friend...... relief might be on the way. There is no telling when a delightful article might appear in a major newspaper, exploring the intricacies of that company's "employee option scam". Bill Parrish, west coast sleuth extraordinaire, did all the original digging on this and the old "Tech Review" gave the story its first public coverage about two years ago, but MSFT's brass pulled all the stops and successfully wisked it under the mat. But some worms just keep on turning and I think it might just make it main line print,..... maybe even in the near term. (g) Now THAT might just get investors into re-evaluation mode. Best, Earlie
