Oh stop, we let you put your bear rug on the floor. BTW, I doubled down on the QQQ puts today and legged into some INDU 8700's. If there is a whole lot of good news overnite I am dead!! Also, on the MSFT thingy. There have been lots of negative articles on the new pricing plan, I think I posted some stories from last year and early this year from overseas where IT folks were refusing and started looking a Linux. Last week Network World had a very positive column on NOVL. It may be that the monopoly has outstayed its welcome. Will need several quarters to see, but I keep seeing anti-Softie ruling the desktop stories. May not work. I think it was Peter Drucker who when asked about MSFT's influence in the marketplace said something along the lines of "People don't understand, they think Microsoft is the shark in the ocean when in fact Microsoft is the ocean."
