>>MSFT! someone talk me out of it<< Hmmm I remember telling someone not to buy it at 120 a few weeks ago. Its a good thing she didnt listen to me. Not that I dont think msft is a good investment no matter what but I didnt think buying calls in a down market was very smart but with the 5k she spent, she made out like a bandit.. worth what 25k now?

OFF TOPIC Joanna, I cannot tell a lie -- it was me who warned you off KO. But here's an interesting alternative to MSFT: PSFT! the p/e is high (some might say astronomical), but the company turns in one blow-out quarter after another. Take a look at it and look at Value-Line's write-up. I think MSFT is over-priced, and I believe that the next incarnation of Windows won't sell very well. MSFT could be an interesting value play if it gets broken up like T did. But I don't think that the DOJ is looking to break up MSFT. If it were, I'd be in there in a heartbeat. Regards, Paul
