> Are you concerned about the state of their bread and butter lic fees? No! Not really! With all these guys (HP, DELL, etc.) fighting for market share and bringing down PC prices further, MSFT will get its $99 per lic. (or whatever they charge for OS). Profit margins at DELL, HP, etc., maybe dropping, but regardless MSFT's profits margins will remain as strong as ever! > gosh, my sympathies. Have you heard of stop-loss orders? Thanks! And yes... stop-loss orders.. what a concept! But when it comes to a high beta stock such as JDSU I never liked that concept for which the stock used to fluctuate by 20% t0 30% on a daily basis. And when one still has the hang over of a bull market it takes a while to get used to the idea of stop loss with a high beta stock such as JDSU. By the time I did get used to that idea the stock had fallen so much it did not matter anymore for me to sell or to keep it! I decided to keep it (for now anyway)!
