I made a big mistake of not investing in the monopoly msft and not longing it a month ago. Just heard a friend said a couple who gamble big on options/stock won big in msft calls and now 350K profit after some big loss in the past. The couple work in nail industry (you can guess) and poorly educated. Just give the money to their broker and he does whatever he likes. Well I need one big luck but not put a farm in it (miss buy tons of put when amzn hit 140+). I just guess one day they might bankcrupt or super rich.

>>I think that MSFT has a fat chance of hitting 125 by the close of Thursday. I wasthinking of 120, but it seems that I am too bearish based on the price move. However, there should be some mild profit taking after the earning release. And the court hearing begins in early September. Look for a pull back to 108-112 as reentry point. Of course I seriously believe that DELL will hit at least 125 before they report. If they rally above 140, look for massive profit taking to pull the issue back to 110. The double digit day for DELL is over unless a stock split.<< Appreciate your feedback. But, I'm looking to get out in 1-3 weeks depending on market sentiment and momentum. There might be some immediate profit taking from MSFT after earnings, but if earnings are a little better than expected, I think the stock will rally more (am I nuts???). Plus, even if they just meet expectations, the stock may have some quick profit taking, but I would still think it would rally more till the end of month or sooner, again, depending on sentiment and momentum (liquidity). >>Look for a pull back to 108-112 as reentry point. << I could be wrong, but I think the time to think about this is next month. This month is called 'run to the bus and get on it before you miss your ride'. (Am I nuts???) joe
