Rumor: 2:1 split to be announced on 6 Feb I was discussing the MSFT stock with a student of mine, whose mother works for MSFT. She had been upbeat during her last conversation because of the internal MSFT email about a 2:1 split to be announced on 6 Feb. Does anyone else have better info on this possible split? PoorRich

Bill, There does not seem to be any direction to the market (well maybe down). Normally, you can tell if we are in a rally mode or a selling mode. Considering the sell off last week, it is hard to get a feel for the direction. Was it just Brazil last week? Was it investors sensing that stocks had come too far? What will it be this week? Clinton? I am probably going to "play" the market starting Monday, shorting into a rally ( or buying puts) and buying calls on a drop. Maybe i won't. Just don't know what to do short term. It is hard being a long term investor-----I just feel the need to do something (like a market addict). Maybe I should just take a vacation and not bother.
