I was just thinking about MSFT. I wouldn't short them cause I don't see their stock as being that much higher than it always is. I really shouldn't generalize about these things... Yeah, I would feel better about BAANF. And MSFT really doesn't have any competition yet. So they don't have to mark-down their latest product until it is time for people to switch to the next one. Their only problem would occur if they marked down an obsolete product and then everybody kept on buying it. :) Like any (good) engineer, I can think of a whole bunch of ways for anything to go wrong. Nevertheless, I end up eventually buying stocks anyway... Hey, if we knew in advance how hard all our projects were going to be before we started, we wouldn't start any. :) In fact, we would turn away from our mother's breast at birth, and just starve. :) The ability to underestimate reality, is one of mankind's greatest gifts. But it can get dangerous. -- Carl
