Hi Guys: I've been stuck in a conference room all day in the bond closing from hell. I think I'll write a letter myself (to follow). But, I can tell you from personal experience . . . Barrons did a real hatchet job on MSFT, a fairly decent sized holding of mine, much worse than this several months ago. There were big takes on the MSFT puts that Friday, so there was speculation that some knew the story was coming out then. People on the MSFT boards freaked out over the weekend. The Nasdq futures were nearly limit down that Sunday night, and MSFT opened down 3 the next morning. Big deal. By the end of the day, it was up, as I recall (could be wrong about this, but it wasn't down much if it wasn't). Moral of the story: Only the brain dead allow themselves to be fundamentally influenced by this stuff.
