T2000, RE: Greenspan

Good payday today, and tomorrow.

I'm concerned about the timing of Alan Greenspan's testimony tomorrow. I remember in the summer I was riding Lucent call options, rode the October 70 calls from 65 to 108, and on the day Lucent announced earnings, Lucent tanked to 102 on outstanding earnings because Greenspan talked the market down. I had to sell out of the Lucent calls on the downside, when I was banking on 120, easy.

That was the beginning of the huge market correction, that very day.
Now I'm worried that Greenspan is going to do the same thing tomorrow.

Opinions anyone on the effect of the Greenspan testimony?

No it is not an actual quote.
This is my own excuberance on the conference call. They are trying to downplay the #'s but how can you? they are enormous.
Last qtr was great. this qtr it's even greater.
They are the # 1 Gorila.

tech2000,

Just watch the closing price of Microsoft today in Europe , then you will know what will happen to Microsoft tomorrow when the US market is open.

Be patient, better time is just beginning for Microsoft. Think about the growth of revenue and profit when Office 2000 and Win 2000 come on line in 1999.
