BMFM we meet again :). msft is arguably the best company on this planet. imho very silly to short it on a longer term basis(no matter what its price). better idea to do some kinda options arbitrage(like a straddle), buy protective calls etc. also, imho, justice dept. won't dare to enforce restrictions on win98. Can you imagine the flack they would receive if the boomer's fav. stocks go down with a market swoon? if you just wnat to buy msft at a good price, buy it now, put the certificates in a safe deposit box. you'll prolly do ok in a couple years. best -P

BMFM, You never ceased to amuse me! But this time I am joining in your pray. Come on, Mr. Softie drop 6 points tomorrow, another 10 points on Friday, another 25 points next Monday...I have sold almost all my issues and am waiting to load 20,000 shares of Mr. Softie at 50. Come on, how about 60 or 70? At that level, I can still afford to load up 20 k shares. Come on, Mr. Softie, you are already rich and please listen!:) Or I can pray the MM the shake out every single weak hand. good luck and happy trading, larry! Sincerely wish to see Mr. Softie dip further. I can retire easily if Mr. Softie helps me to double my portfolio.
