>I picked up a copy of Barron's and was sliding through it. They touched on the subject of accounting and employee options. < I have not read a MSFT annual report for a while. This may be right. An important point is that many companies (e.g., BFIT) handle this cost through a footnote to the financial statements instead of reporting it on the P&L (I rather refer to it as the Income Statement IS) statement. needless to say most folks, including analysts, Zacks etc. ignore this frequently important expense in this over heated market who cares! >Secondly, you previously indicated that if you subscribe to Barrons there is a deal on the electric version of it along with WSJ. What exactly are the terms, if you know? < I don't remember since I only subscribe to the electronic version. My recollection tells me something like 19.95/year. Just type www.wsj.com in your browser and move around. You should find the info. easily. If you don't, try me again. Pancho
