- Between the last earnings & upcoming products, I don't see how anyone can give up on MSFT

Hoping stock holds about 150 for a couple of weeks til we start seeing the momentum investors pile on. Notice how Dell even after its so so November earnings release went from 65 to 110 ---why? Momemtum investors. I think they have more friends in MSFT and INTEL, the companies that blew away last quarters. I have more faith in MSFT though. We will start to see the momentum players come in early this time due to the split --meaning mid March. If there was not split, it would have been late March. Looking to make a "killing" in options and feel confident about it.The negative sentiment out there on tech is sign of bottoming to me. Notice how the market does not discriminate that much between the winners of last quarter and the also rans---general selloffs means big buying opportunities in stocks like MSFT. JMHO

Just read something on steet.com options story. There was a large institutional seller of 11,000 contracts of January 125 Year 2000 puts against an open interest of only 1849. Pocketed 9 million in premium (ie about 8 and change per share). Wow! These guys know what easy money is---those suckers that bought the puts are out to lunch(maybe some of ToySoldier's friends). I wonder if MSFT sells its equity puts this way--I would appreciate someone's insight. Thanks.
