wiley Re:"MSFT trying a stock buy back, " When MSFT announced that they were going to have a better than expected quarter, they also said that they had done no stock purchases during the entire quarter. When asked by CNBC why, the response was something like:We don't buy overpriced stock. If you look at the chart for MSFT since 1/1/98 you can see what MSFT believes to be overpriced. As for being able to pay their employees their options wellll...I suppose that they could just short the stock. Gersh
