JP, I came out pretty well out of options expiry week. If it was not for the
Brazil mess, I could have made a fortune. It looked gloomy in the morning
but did it ever change by late afternoon.
I am still holding a lot of February calls with all kinds of strike prices.
There is no way I am going to hold on to these til after earnings. I am
going to unload all (including some Aprils)on Tuesday and buy shares of MSFT
and CSCO. CSCO reports early February.
There is too much risk in holding calls going into earnings. I expect the
stock to go up Wednesday but the premium on the February calls would probably
drop somewhat if it does not move up. LOL.

But jeez, you'd think that Microsofts own star MIT economist might have been informed that Gates cooked up the survey himself. Bet he was more than a little red faced.

Why? Should the government be red faced because they're using surveys commissioned, "cooked up" as you say, by Microsoft's competitors?

Do you honestly believe that these polling firms do polls just for the hell of it or do you think somebody might actually be paying them?
