Paula, Re:where are the buyers? Looked like they just left early and missed the 'buy opportunity'. I'm a prospective buyer but I'm holding the position on any stock that it is never too late to buy. What a change in psycology? Every rebound so far follows by further decline lately since that ASIAN FLU started. The problem is almost ALL prominent experts says it's a non-event. This got me worry. Seldom you have so many experts and officials said the same thing with straight face (like concerted effort to calm the public). Korea officials did that before the collapse. No, I'm not saying our official is as corrupted as those over there. But I do think they are all mortal human beings and they all have the responsibility of the well-being of the public.

>>I'd say that MSFT is a buy MSFT may not actually be ripe for buying right now. Their entire future as a business is being thrown into question, and the PE is being adjusted accordingly. Do you think that Microsoft can continue to grow at the pace of prior years with the government dogs getting more rabid by the week? The coming year will be the most crucial in Microsoft's entire history. Look out below if things don't go well for them. Joe S.

paul "msft a buy" yea it's a buy the only ? is the entry point. looks like 110 to 120 good entry point for long term players. The game being played now will allow msft the co to sell more puts and repurchase more shares at a lesser price. It is to the co's benefit to get the stock price lower. They need to purchase buckets of shares to fund their option plans. Ignore the noise surrounding the co and look for buying interest to emerge then jump in. When it starts to move everybody will jump on board for the ride. Am I a bull/bear neither I play it both ways . Just closed out short position today and am looking at stochastics for entry point long. Do I like the co ? love it , make great products , hire the best people bs bs bs. This does not influence my shorts/longs in the stock. Just an opinion. Tom
