LindyBill, I reduced my options load significantly on today's early move up only to come back in once the stock dropped down to about 146 this afternoon. I was a net seller though. Still holding a bunch of April calls. I am going to wait a little longer to buy April calls--once the next few days of the trial are done----need to see if MSFT improves its defense (the way it did today). If they have a strong finish-----the stock will go much higher. IF they falter---I will stick with near the money options. Unloaded MSFT and INTEL shares too. Going to try to get a feel for the market and buy on dips if there are any.

I must admit, I thought we would be falling today---even played with some Feb puts(cheap ones), feel like I have sinned.<g> Well I lost money on the puts--glad to say.(?)

Microsoft gets a breather
Chalk one up for Microsoft, which saw its antitrust
case with Caldera pushed back six months.
